Tasting Notes:

Rich amber color with golden fringes.
Pretty and elegant nose of fresh apple and subtle saltiness. There are notes of caramel and oaky/spicy cinnamon as well.
Rich and bold on the palate. Very dry with rich oak character that hits you first. Caramel and some salty maritime notes follow.
The finish is very dry and full of bold oak.
