Nose: Creamy, vanilla, floral. Palate: Sherry, vanilla, orchard fruit, currants/raisins, cream, baking spices (nutmeg & cinnamon). Finish: Medium long. More orchard fruit, vanilla, and a little salt/brine. Creamy and floral, with some woody notes in the aftertaste. This is a wonderful, creamy, mouth-coating, and sherried dram with many evolving flavors. It's a whisky to contemplate, but don't take too long – the bottle won't last! I sampled this a couple of times but have now bought a full bottle!
