The
French oak is characterized by a fruity, cinnamon/allspice character.
As the toast levels increased the fruity descriptor changed from fresh
to jammy to cooked fruit/raisin in character. The French oak was
also characterized by custard/ creme brulee, milk chocolate and campfire/roasted
coffee notes, especially the latter descriptor at higher toast levels.
