The nose offers ripe peaches, cherry Italian ice, pronounced but balanced oak influence, musty antique store, incense, and dry ashiness. The palate offers more baked peaches, as well as cookies-and-cream milkshake, macaroons, shortbread cookies, and peppery spice. The finish is smooth, with balanced sweetness and length, even more peaches, apricot, vanilla, and balanced spice. A unified, deep, and pleasurable dram, gentle but filled with complex flavor combinations.

Bright golden amber color. Fruity, creamy aromas and flavors of banana cream pie with whipped cream, coconut macaroon, spicy fruit compote, and amber perfume with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, elegant, long creme brulee, nougat, spiced nuts, and sassafras finish. A sensationally vibrant and elegant whisky.
