Nose is walnuts, sherry, toffee, raisins, smoked fruit leather. Tastes of oranges, floral honey, sweet cigar smoke, supple leather couch, and overall old library. Aftertaste is quite floral with wisps of smoke. The flavor is not at all intense, which is probably due to its proof. It's very reminiscent of the 12 Year but just "prettier" in every way. It's good, but I wish it had more body, and I'm not sure it personally justifies the cost increase over the 12.
