Nose is syrup, fruity cognac, little wood, some nuttiness and butter. Flavor is similar with butter, some tobacco, maple syrup, cognac fruits, hint of alcohol.

Deep glassy amber. Light apples, flour, and alcohol in the aroma. Winey palate, but so soft and subtle. Lovely woodiness, but not too drying. Some honey, and apricot. Anna says she sniffs glue, or something. Tingly hoppiness in the finish. Delightful. mjs (1541), Helsinki, Finland
