Nose
Buttered malt, fine smoke. The pepper that goes up. Everything grows while remaining quite austere despite a noticeable note of vanilla. With a little water, rounder with herbs, oregano ...
Taste
Clearly on the ground of Lap QC, but in raw version of barrel. Marked by spices, it remains soft. It's even more blatant with water, very sweet and fragrant.
Finish
Very mellow, on liquorice, coffee, leather, smoke, pepper. With water, spices are more diverse and softer.
