*Value Pick* By far the “sweet spot” when compared to its siblings. The most versatile and the best value of the entire portfolio. Good enough to enjoy neat, but economical enough to use as a mixer. Caramel corn, vanilla, soft nougat, light barrel char, gentle fruit, hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. (JH, Spring 2012)

*Best Buy* The nosing passes find scents of lanolin, textile fiber and fireplace soot following early smells of wax. The palate entry displays toasty flavors that wrap around core tastes of dried fruit and nuts; the midpalate stage reveals the waxy quality first detected in the opening bouquet.
