Nose
First you have resin from old precious wood and pine needles with a bit of wet humus. Then more earthy sherry with dried fruits, such as sultanas, figs, dates, prunes, cherries and a bit of mango. Later some dark forest honey. It's a very vibrant, majestic and fresh nose.
Taste
The taste is unexpected fresh and fruity, half sweet and half dry, on a base of earthy sherry tones. So you have various fruits, such as grapefruit, red grapes and raspberries. It's a mix between citrus and red fruits, more fresh than dried. The earthy notes are liquorice, Coca-Cola, humus and wet forest floor, with a bit of burnt sugar aside.
Finish
The finish is long, again with earthy sherry and the citrusy notes. It remains juicy for a long time until tiny amounts of grape skin and subtle tannins remind you of the age of this whisky.
