Nose

Lifted yet mature. Aromatic: honeysuckle, chamomile tea, apple blossom, sandalwood. Lightly musky in time candied fruits and BBQ pineapple. More floral with water. Elegance personified.

Palate

A surprisingly slow start. Thick. Golden syrup/mead, then saffron. Sweet citrus, then moving into lily.

Finish

Medium length.

Comment

Superb balance and aromatic intensity. Exemplary old whisky.
