Strathclyde 24 Year Old 1990 (cask 648268) The Octave (Duncan Taylor)

Nose: Pears/apples. Strong alcohol. Acetone. Palate: Milk chocolate, mocha, baking spices (cloves), pears, and apples. Finish: Initially sugar, crème brûlée, and vanilla. It evolves into a burnt/charred, funky/barnyard note. It has a leathery, sweet character with a hint of children's chocolate banana candies in the aftertaste. It possesses a creamy, thick mouthfeel that was unexpected. Chewy, flavorful, and full of intriguing layers throughout

I actually sampled the 1991 release, aged 20 years.
