Rumored to be 18-25 years old (a few sources claimed this one had many 20+ year old whiskies vatted in here and the beverage director told me 18-25 from his nikka sources), this is rich with notes of vanilla, smoke, dark chocolate, marshmallows, citrus, hoisin sauce, maple syrup, green fruit, barbecue pork, salted cod, and mackerels.
Nose: Vanilla, Eucyptalus, Banana Taffy, Toasted Marshmallows, Salted Cod, Dark Chocolate, Coal, Peaches, Raisins, Grapefruit, Pineapples, Kiwis, Smoke, Green Apples, Melons, Maple Syrup
Palate: Vanilla, Brown Sugar, Maple Syrup, Coal, Iodine, Honey, Peaches, Toasted Marshmallows, Lemon Zest, Bacon, Mackerels, Dark Chocolate, Toffee, Hoisin Sauce
