Wife grabbed me this for Valentine's and so here we are. I personally avoid sweeter "drink this after dinner if you want a dessert" profiles usually but dont tell her--it was a 100/100 if she asks. Nose is immediately inviting with honeysuckle, dry beach grass, and a faint bergamot. 'Good medicinality' sounds oxymoronic but it's just behind the sweets. Palate starts off a little one-dimensional taking you somewhere between marzipan and burnt creme-brulee. The palatability starts kinda meh (for the age, but maybe not the price) however after a couple small sips the little things become easier to taste. Delicious tannic vannila. Richness of bananas foster. The vaguest tease of antique oak furniture freshly polished. Hint of raw almonds. Mouth is velvety. Soft, soft, soft. It's a good thing here. A little pop of oak closes the whole show right after gentle dry sweetness gets you there. I wanted to like it more, but it just wasnt all that special. Holding out more hope for the 18y and older by Dewars as I hear much better things about them.
