Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Dry and dusty at first; after a wee while there are notes of Dairy Milk chocolate buttons followed by toffee apples; hints of old leather and tobacco appear as well as a note of crème brûlée.
Palate:
This has a slightly oily texture; the first thing which comes to mind here is apple strudel; a slight tobacco note develops after a while in the glass; you can really taste the age of this whiskey in the finish with plenty of grapefruit and blackcurrant notes; there are hints of prune juice and dried dates suggesting some sherry cask influence albeit it elegant and subtle.
