Nose
A very accessible nose despite the massive strength. Almost immediately, fresh grass, apple blossom, honeyed porridge, oatmeal cookies - remarkably fresh for its age. After a while the oak appears but always remains polite and balanced. Delightful.
Palate
At full strength (careful!) the oak is more noticeable, but the lighter honeyed, fruity touches fight their way through the big, mouth-watering alcohol. Pleasant, but clearly water is advised. After a glass of water for me and a few drops for the dram, I've taken it down to (guesstimate) high 40s abv: the oats are more assertive on the nose now. Palate is much more tempered and sweeter, with some lovely natural caramel and barley sugar.
Finish
The oak is getting slightly dusty, as these older malts frequently will. Somehow it realy suits the other flavours of this dram.
