Nose: baked banana bread, vanilla, leather Palate: prominent oak, vanilla cream Finish: medium finish and a bit astringent and earthiness flavor that stays around too long To me this is a bit one dimensional. I had the 10, 12 and 14 year batches from 2026 and the 12 year os the winner in my book. Glad to try all three samples because i dont think any of them are worth secondary prices.
