Impressions @ neck level, frequently revisited throughout all fill levels.
This remains a heartbreakingly beautiful whisky. The nose oozes honeycomb, raspberry cheesecake and creme brûlée. The palate matches the nose, adding rich overtones of ripe orchard fruits, vanilla cream, and touches of wood spice. The finish is medium long and remains pleasantly sweet throughout. The mouthfeel is rich, full, and slightly dry.
This is the kind of whisky that fills me with regret for not having purchased a backup. This was an afterthought purchase at Costco, and it turned out to be an accidental revelation. While I often feel like my collection is getting out of hand, this is the kind of find that keeps me buying.
