Smells sweet and delicate, palate is full of flowers and wine with a very slight astringent bitterness that can probably be attributed to the tokaji finish. Plenty of wood and some complexity from some of the higher aged whiskies keep things interesting but there is also a noticeable lack of juicy sweetness that place this in the middle of sweet or dry. Oily, viscous and holding up well in a glass over a long period of time are factors that would make this whisky great paired with a cigar and hence an overall success albeit not a masterpiece.
