Tasting Notes

A fun shared bottle with some friends as it is a bit boujee for me to buy myself a 25 yr bottle. A real treat that has not lost any kick in its long life in a barrel. A fun salty sweet raisin nose that I want to last throughout. Still turns into a mouthwatering ride with a scosh of lemon and a finish that for my tastes could be sweeter but does have a nice cigar box lingering aspect that feels rich. I feel this whisky deserves a brown leather chair and a fireplace but tonight it gets a shoddy footstool and a cornflower couch. Still quite nice.
