Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Very deep mahogany, almost opaque at centre; dark ruby-brown rim, extremely thick slow legs
Nose
Ancient and profound — concentrated dried fruit (fig, date, prune, raisin), dark chocolate ganache, espresso, old leather-bound books, beeswax, polished mahogany, pipe tobacco. Sandalwood and aged Oloroso sherry
Palate
Full-bodied and extraordinarily complex. Layer upon layer — dark fruit, chocolate, espresso, marzipan, fruitcake, aged leather, polished wood, deep sherry warmth. Quarter-century seamless marriage of spirit and cask. Walnut, fig paste, and a touch of smoke from aged oak. Water barely changes it — already perfectly balanced
Finish
Exceptionally long finish — evolves over minutes. Dark fruit and chocolate fade through leather, tobacco, sandalwood, and aged oak. The very last note is a honeyed warmth. A meditation whisky
