Nose: gorgeous aroma typical of long aging, white peach, honey, strong vanilla, fragrant malt, bouquet of white and yellow flowers, a little wax and milk caramel, pineapple, orange, menthol behind.
Taste: rounded, medium-bodied, mature and round. Accompanied by a slight stickiness. White peach, honey, strong vanilla, smoky malt, a bit of wax and milk caramel notes consistent with the nuances of the nose. The finish is gentle and mild, with a wax and milk caramel and white peach-like aftertaste that slowly fades out.
Overall: It is mature and gentle and mild, yet the fruity, wax and milk caramel elements shines through. A must-try for ladies as well as for male malt fans.
