The nose is rich and well-balanced with subtle spices, dried apple and banana chips, and a hint of butterscotch. That butterscotch note is clear on the palate, along with good spicy notes of allspice and a hint of black pepper balanced by orange peel, banana, coconut, and vanilla notes. The finish has lingering aromatic touches of banana, grilled pineapple, and butterscotch. (March, 2015)
