Omg! What a nose. That vintage whisky nose of herbal character, dunnage warehouses, antique furniture, earthy, red dates, stewed fruits, varnish, a hint of peat, plums, cherries, and old leather. Palate is slightly medicinal, stewed fruits, red dates, old school good sherry cask character, medium sweet. A bit herbal with minerals, antique chair, raisins, soft and gentle. Complex and very elegant. Long lasting sweetness and with dry finish. What a delight!
