Nose: This is dry and fruity. At first a dark, sweet fruitiness with honey, overripe dark fruits and liqeuer-soaked cherries covers everything else. After a few seconds the sweetness subsides and the fruitiness becomes a bit brighter and some peaches and grapes start to come through. There's a minerality to it and the background notes are somewhat medicinal. With time in the glass there's a vanilla note popping up somewhere behind the fruitiness. This is a very pleasant nose with some complexity to it. Mouth: It starts out with a touch of spicyness and a medicinal note. It's not especially sweet and the honey note is not able to push through. It's quite dry and a hefty coffee and dark chocolate bitterness fills the background. There's still a minerality within and the fruitiness is now very repressed as well. The bitterness is dominating the palate and it feels like it's surpressing the oakiness at this stage. Finish: An initial sweet honey and vanilla note pass by quickly and leaves room for the bitter notes and a nutty walnut oakiness. It's very dry and slightly astringent. The fruitiness is almost entirely gone and the finish is all about coffee, oak and dark chocolate. The medicinal side of it remain all through the finish though, and in the late finish there's a tiny smoky and sulfury note residing behind everything else. This is a great whisky with a surprisingly complex profile.
