Nose: Malted grains, blackberry jam, orange marmalade, black tea, cinnamon, vanilla, hints of sea salt. With water, sea salt, vanilla, raisins, hints of honey.

Finish: Medium. Honey, vanilla, toast, hints of sea salt. 

Comments: 

Quite fruity, clearly a wine cask or sherry cask finish. Something very sweet, yet tannic, on the tongue. Doesn't take a lot of water to open it up, and it becomes salty, and more bitter.

Verdict:

I like this.
