Nose: Vanilla toffee oak, geranium, grasses, some white pepper and fresh vanilla. (The aforementioned Toby was upset I didn't initially include his note of the night here: pencil shavings akin to a demerara rum.)
Palate: Warming up front before relaxing entirely with waxy, gentle oak notes, a touch of melon and some venerable wood spices.
Finish: Salivating oakiness.
Overall: A nice old chap of a whisky, it's aged oak note-driven and it's done very well.
