Nose
warming, sooty kind of bonfire smoke. Then sherbet lemons but also round caramel and fragrant apricot jam in the background, mixed with creosote, menthol and medicinal hints. Tarry boat rope and damp fabrics, as well as herbal notes. Subtle brine and spiced toffee. Superb, mature nose.
Palate
sweet and coastal. More fisherman's rope, dried seaweed and leafy bonfires, although there's still this fruity hint of lime and peach. Pine needles, hints of salted caramel, green peppercorns and subdued tarry notes. Again this acidic fruitiness, a mix of pineapple, orange, pear and passion fruit bavarois. Hints of honey and citrus tea, with polished wood and resinous touches. Vanilla cake is back, with soft baking spice and this hoppy potpourri note that is not uncommon in whisky of this age. Despite the good ABV it's a tad soft and thin towards the end. Nonetheless it's surprisingly juicy and certainly not woody.
Finish
medium, still quite grainy, with caramel sweetness and hints of baking spices growing stronger.
