Nose

Understated and takes time to open. Almond skin, dried peels, honeycomb, light smoke, bruised apple, nut bowl, wax. Mature.

Palate

Lemon, lime, then marzipan, coconut, hay, nutmeg deepening into honey, cooked raspberry.

Finish

Anise/basil. Expansive and complex.

Comment

A classic example of the understated, elegant approach of the old Chivas blends.
