Honestly, every time I took a dram from this bottle, it gave me some flavours I never noticed before. This dram requires a great amount of patience to discover all the amazing smell and tastes! It is full of complexity and character. I would say, among all seducing scents it offers, the floral notes (almost like nectar) and Chinese ricecake remembrance are the most impressive to me on the nose. Citrus fruits and honey sweetness dominate the palate but in the end it shows some ginger spiciness, nuttiness and coffee. If you are patient, you might be sensing some faint smoke and brine (a drop of water can help). Finish is medium-long, warm and sweet. To me, the most amazing thing for this dram is the extraordinary notes of sweet milk chocolate when I nose it right after I swallow. Just wow! I think the magic truly lies in those 100+ barrels and the hands of the master blender. P.S. Tried another bottle bought from a different place, which showed more grain characteristics much like a bourbon (surprised and a bit disappointed). Score modified to 4 from 4.5 due to such dramatic batch variations.
