n:  Fresh fruitcake topped with mint

p:   Cherry limeade.  Damp pine.   Very chewy with a great finish.

B+/A-   I have a feeling that this one will get better once it has been opened for a while. 

n: burnt dark vanilla bean, tiramisu with dried cherries, orange furniture wax. Dried peach + vanilla wafers.

t: follows nose, but with a peculiar grilled peach flavour and mint chewing gum. Part of me really likes this, part of me is perplexed (interesting combination of flavours). Middle is dusty oak, apricots, and black tea. Nice older style sherry with an earthy, dry finish. Juicy prunes - nice and savoury whisky.

N: Apricots, Christmas cake (yum, and I swear I did not read Andy's review first) and then damp musty wood (meh, and I swear I didn't read Fuji's).

P: Wood dominates the palate, masking some fruity notes which try to to break through.

F: Dry popsicle stick.

I had high hopes based on the first whiffs, but this cask contributed too much tanin and not enough sugar.
