Panel's tasting note:  "On the nose – fudge, pecan pie, crème caramel, marzipan, set honey, rum-soaked raisins; waxed jackets, incense smoke, toasted oak, tobacco pouch, sweet mint.  And here are some of our comments – Amazing.  Fantastic.  Deeply satisfying.  Complex.  Rewarding.  Can’t put it down.  Sweet treats.  A sniffer’s dram.  On the palate – dark Madeira honey cake, Jamaican truffles, Moroccan spice markets, buttered toast, marmalade, treacle, rich caramel, spiced almonds, maple syrup, ginger biscuits.  Yet more comments – Forbidden pleasures.  Manna from Heaven.  A voyage of discovery.  Sometimes being on the panel is not so bad!"
