A heavy sweetness right up front. Honey glazed nuts, dark fruits and hints of nutmeg and clove.

Oily and bittersweet. Spiced orange cake. Chocolate dipped dark fruits. Served with a double espresso. Spicy pipe tobacco. Gets sweeter and sweeter.

Long. Lots of dry oak with sweetish tobacco and some walnuts.
Overall
Pretty straightforward. Does not disappoint but does not surprise either.
