Waterford Dunbell (American)

Appearance: a deep copper with oils that hold the glass tighter than Mark Newton holds his wallet.

Nose: toffee, green apple; reminds me of autumn. If you had porridge with raisins, cinnamon, dark chocolate, and a nip of Dunbell followed by apple tart and vanilla ice cream, that's it. You might have to do like goldilocks after it and have a snooze.

Taste: candied apple, warm spices, pepper, orange peel, apricots, cloves, ginger nut biscuits.

Finish: warm and dry spices that linger on the tongue and waters in the mouth
