Nose: Cooked apples and pears with a drizzle of caramel, followed by a touch of citrus oils bringing some lightness to the rich, complex nose.
Palate: Salted butter spread on crusty bread still warm from the oven, a slow build of fragrant smoke and earthy vanilla, with walnut and pecan introducing a touch of oiliness.
Finish: Decadent coffee and freshly ground spices, along with a hint of blackberry.
Overall: A great blended whisky which shows off its age very well indeed.
