Colour: pale gold.

Nose: Caramelly . The caramel grows even huger with time, with also caramelized peanuts… It gets also more mashy, starting to smell almost like Guinness (which takes the biscuit!) Also hints of very ripe oranges, the whole switching progressively to dustier and more tea-ish notes (with maybe hints of lavender and geranium).

Mouth: extremely sweet, nutty and cereally and not weak at all, even powerful despite the 40%. Very caramelly again, candied, even a little coffeeish, malty, with notes of burnt cake and overcooked praline. Gets then quite liquoricy and finally more tannic and dry, the medium long finish being mostly on bitter chocolate mixed with fresh apple juice. In short, an unusual style, much less fruity and more cereally and chocolaty than the current Irish but that may well come from bottle age – or from the use of more sherry casks.
