Subtle hints of dried orange peel, toasted oak, and a delicate spice, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg, emerge with air. There's a faint, earthy sweetness that suggests a well-matured spirit despite the NAS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The palate delivers on the promise of the nose, offering a medium-bodied, velvety texture. Initial notes of sweet corn and vanilla bean give way to a delightful interplay of dark caramel and roasted nuts. The rye spice is present but not overwhelming, offering a peppery zing that balances the sweetness. Undertones of dried fruit – perhaps apricot or raisin – mingle with a gentle oak influence, providing structure and warmth. A touch of baking chocolate and a faint leathery note develop mid-palate, showcasing its age and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is medium to long, surprisingly complex for its proof.
