Some fairly priced juice by Buffalo Trace. Colour: deep gold. Nose: starts rather floral, on broom and wisteria, and would go on with notes of warm tarte tatin, cinnamon cake, and gingerbread. And quite a lot of vanilla, obviously, as well as pastries. Panettone? Also some orange juice, which makes it rather fresh, and perhaps one tiny mushroom. Pretty elegant, showing some self-restraint, certainly not an oak bomb. Mouth: good balance, even if there’s more oak now, gingery spices, all-spice mix… Some gingerbread, coco cream, orange zests, fudge, and a little burnt sugar. A spicy/sweet ryeness as well. Finish: rather long yet smooth, on aniseed, marmalade, and gingerbread.
