Nose

Pipe smoke, citrus and waxy leather: beautifully sweet despite the big oak. Overall, somewhat bourbony.

Palate

Intense toasted malt-oak intensity before it drifts back off into bourbon-land.

Finish

Slightly bitter honeycomb and waxy-though the demerara sweetness continues.

Comment

Few malts reach this age intact. This has - and with some considerable panache.
