The nose is unusually expressive, very floral with very nice hints of fruit (coconut, banana, mango, apple). A real invitation... Very far from the discretion of lots of whiskies, and very far from the aggressiveness of many others.
In the palate, a wonderful complexity, starting on slightly acid notes (citrus fruit) which are soon replaced by a kind of alcohol feeling, fading rapidly to make room for some very nice smooth malty notes combined to fine woody hints.
A nice finish, lingering and warm, with a pleasant mix of nutty hints and citrus fruit, and finally coconut despite quite a strong alcohol feeling.

An exceptional nose. Some mix of coconuts with sweet spices, with strong medicinal hints quickly disappearing after a few aeration minutes.
In the palate, when the first alcoholic impression is away, a very nice complexity, allying fine woody hints to malty smoothness. Relative smoothness however, due to the high percentage of alcohol, and a bit in contradiction with some discrete citrus hints.
The finish is amazingly long and rich. Coconut mixes delicately with wood and citrus fruit. Really a very nice bottle.
