What a beautiful decanter styled bottle, the cork is mounted in a glass knob... Nose is delightfully rich, full and complex, opening with intense rum raisin and creamy bourbon-oak vanilla atop a seam of caramel. The rest is just mysterious and ephemeral enough, I can't describe it without using silly subjective Pigeon-English, so I'll spare you, savvy? Palate follows suit with tart fresh pineapple and exotic spices, hint of salt, soft floral mint and just a touch of bubblegum fruitiness, but in a good way. Medium finish with spicy/zesty kiwi-like astringency, so unusual yet satisfying. Not only does this dram like a long while in the glass to open up, but the bottle improved noticeably after about 4 months. A special gift from my mother, a whisky drinking wanderlust world traveler, with a son who didn't fall far from the tree. Dry glass: buttery malt, hint of juniper.
