A rich dark brown caramel in the glass. On swirling, it leaves a coating on the glass together with occasional some "legs" on the edge. On the nose: Aromatic, bitter, earthy, with orange saffron and other lighter scents such as myrrh as well as gentian, cinnamon and galangal in the background. On the palate: gentian, mace, galangal - you can taste them all after the initial dry, bitter rush as they slowly march across your palate. Fleeting notes of caramel, glucose and mincemeat also.
