Nose: strong butterscotch, fresh fruit on the nose. Really fresh and strong aroma. Not at all what I expected. I expect a 25 year to be rich and complex, but not fresh. Taste: mango, pineapple, coconut - tropical fruit. Not what I was expecting at all. As it sat in my mouth, the flavors kept evolving. It changed into stone fruit, then a little bit of salinity. Sweetness. Chocolate The mouth feel was perfect, one of the best I've had in a whiskey. Truly fantastic. Finish: smooth, long, sweet, asking for more. This is up there with the pappy Van Winkle 20 year and the yamazaki 18 for the best whiskey I've ever had.
