Nose
Rich Malty notes to the fore. As you go deeper, aromas of liquorice and marzipan with a hint of toasted marshmallows and demerara sugar.

Spices and oak notes, mandarin oranges and other fruits combine with some nutmeg as the very oily palate progresses

Quite nutty as the marzipan from the nose reappears before a more-ish sweetness hangs around for quite some time.
