Nose
oh my oh my oh my. It's one of these old peaters (rather medium peated in this case) that became splendidly sappy and resinous. I'll keep this short but this combination of all kinds of old syrups and medicines with all kinds of raisins and other dried fruits is just matchless.
Palate
orgasmic. Granted, we could do with a little more 'modern' power and creaminess, but other than that, it's a maelstrom of phenolic, leathery, fruity and waxy notes. The peat remains really noticeable after all these years (are you kidding? It's even kind of big!)
Finish
endless, clean, incredibly complex. It's a liqueur and not just any liqueur.
