Nose
Dense and lively considering years spent in cask and bottle. Pistachio kunefe, caramelised pears, tangerines, fresh Japanese musk melons, and also Japanese melon pan (one of my favourite notes to find in whisky), Sarawak white pepper. Water reveals stroopwafel oozing with honey, plump green Shine muscat grapes, persimmon, and a green vegetal edge, perhaps spinach and raw brussel sprouts.
Palate
Surprisingly hot neat, like more modern expressions at similar ABV. Medium texture, perhaps a bit light considering ABV. Tarte tatin, then hint of wax, pear drops, touch of oak. With water the pastry flavours unfortunately fade, and the dram becomes a touch waxier, oakier and more citric, with lime sorbet, mint, agave, cloves.
Finish
Tapers off quickly to a very subdued tail of moderate length with vanilla meringue and kumquat. Water reveals stevia.
