Nose: rich dark fruits, raisins, orange marmalade, grown up dark candied note that you would get from a high end boutique candy store-not a simple cheap candied note, deep malt, caramel, sherry, old leather bound books in a private library that’s well taken care of, baking spice or nutmeg like note, very light mild char or smoke like from a good quality pipe tobacco in that old library, hint of a sweet light floral note, very well rounded, no sharp notes at all. Taste: dark fruits, orange marmalade, pleasant spice, tobacco smoke comes through in an enjoyable way, leather, nice warmth on the finish, lingers well for a moment and fades away evenly leaving the old leather and spice notes behind. This is by far one of the best drams I’ve ever had for the price that it’s at. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes and you’ll see the change from when you first poured it. Get some and treat yourself to an occasional dram of a well made scotch.
