Nose: Buttered crumpets, antique oak furniture, figs, shortbread, Lyle's Golden Syrup, nutmeg, a tiny touch of pomander, stroopwafel, mint leaf, and star anise.
Palate: A thick slice of fruitcake, chocolate truffles, vanilla pod earthiness, profiteroles, cigar box leading into notes of worn leather and tomato stem.
Finish: Fragrant vanilla blossom, mahogany, a hint of strawberry, orange oil, and candle wax.
Overall: Extraordinary in every sense of the word, a terrific testament to the jaw-dropping whiskies produced during those storied days. An unforgettable experience.
