Nose - apricot, butterscotch, fig, sultana, creme brûlée, lemon, lime, walnut, banana, honey, cinnamon, apple, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - fig, ginger, honey, apple, pear, pineapple, allspice, lemon zest, clove, bitter walnut, salted caramel, vanilla, dry oak, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium length with stone fruit, citrus zest, and drying oak flavors. At almost 40 years old, this is among the oldest spirits I’ve tasted. The nose is fruity, citrusy, and nutty. The source information doesn’t indicate whether a component was aged in a sherry cask, but I bet it was. The palate is nicely honeyed with a lemony ginger zing, some bitter nuttiness, and a borderline tannic, oaky finish. Overall this is solid whiskey, but those strong citrus and bitter notes rain on an otherwise tasty parade. Nonetheless, it’s always a treat being able to try something this old. Many thanks to @jonwilkinson7309 for providing the sample!
