Rich. Sherried fruits, zest/peels, warming spices. Nutmeg. Oak. I hate myself for saying this but "pencil shavings"....in a good way, with a citrus and delicate hint of smoke in a long finish. Exhale after and get the puff. At around $100 a bottle it's not amazing enough to keep replenishing my cabinet.... yet... but I will slowly savor this one and really enjoy it, then convince myself otherwise. For $15-$20 more I much more prefer Aberlour 18.
