What a nice nose. Very nice combination of smells perfectly balanced. Flowers, brewer's yeast, malt and a touch of grapefruit are just some of them. Spicy hints also.
The mouth is slightly down the nose, and very soon some woody/chocolate hints appear. From the first dry impression, the palate gets quickly oily. Very balanced and nuanced whole.
The finish is long and pleasant, with no hint of alcohol. Just malty happiness with discrete hints of walnut. The finish is paradoxically richer than the mouth was.

A very clear nose, very fresh: cut grass, and a slight smell of plum. A very nice palate, extremely fresh, fruity, with a mix of exotic fruits, pineapple, banana, and a sweet malty background. Very few bitterness for a whisky having spent 40 years in a wooden cask. The finish is rather long, and parodoxically the expected woody hints expected in the mouth appear now, even if they remain discrete. A long development on moka or coffee notes.

This great nose is just a bucket of flowers in the spring. Really marvellous, an explosion of smells mixing very expressive floral notes of spicy peppery ones. Hay on the background, a nice freshness and lots of complexity.
In the palate, the freshness remains as a dominant characteristic, just like the complexity. Some hints of cut grass and unripe fruit. A touch of cashew nut as well. An amazing mix of fruity freshness and slightly bitter notes.
Nice and lingering finish, marked by the smooth bitterness of the nuts.
Superb whisky.
