A very, very round livet, would the length of the departure is a little extended, he would get at least 2P at least more, he is not one of those who change big, as I know it rather with old Longmorns, he is just a beautiful , ancient, dry, round sherry whisky.
Nose
A great combo of coriander, cardamom and old mahogany chest rises directly into the nose, brown sugar, Cremé Bruleé slightly burned, a touch of old car tires, ancient leather, caraway, blood orange, goes over in black cherry, dark walnut (oil), a little balsamic , the herbs of the beginning and pickled cherries are in the whole room when it stays longer in the glass, some dark honey
Taste
Coriander, cumin, beautiful leather, surprisingly strong for the 40%, black cherries, then it is quite dry, autumn leaves, old oak, dark chocolate, walnuts, fruit kernels of cherries, blood orange (with shell) and a hint of grapefruit, cardamom, old Barrel and a bit of balsamic vllt. again, but not disturbing, comes through the tannins rather, overall quite round and viscous on the tongue
Finish
You can leave it on your tongue for a long time and discover some of it, but in the throat it disappoints rather, good 1-2 levels under nose and mouthfeel, but that I have already often in very old with only 40%, which are just well now already fallen below the% mark, it remains old leather, a strong tannin dryness, oak, dark chocolate and a few spices, it is not bad, even very delicious but the slowness is absent, medium to long
