Dusty, tart green apples on the nose with a hint of mint and candied sweetness. The complexity on the palate is beyond unique. You do pick up on the nutmeg and allspice. Definitely oak forward (25 yrs will do that), but I love it. Warm, figgy sweetness with zero "spicy" finish as they advertised. I preferred the 24 to the 25, but this is one of the best I've ever tasted.
