Tasting Notes
Nose: A surprisingly complex and evolved bouquet of dried fruits – apricot, fig, and prune – intertwined with delicate floral notes of lavender and rose. Underlying hints of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and a faint whisper of butterscotch develop with air, showcasing its vintage character. A subtle spice, perhaps nutmeg or allspice, emerges, adding depth.
Palate: The entry is remarkably smooth and soft, characteristic of aged Canadian whisky, yet with a delightful richness. Sweetness unfolds gracefully with notes of caramel, maple syrup, and dark honey. The fruit elements from the nose are present, now leaning towards stewed apples and plums. A gentle oak presence provides structure without overwhelming, alongside a creamy mouthfeel. Subtle baking spices, a touch of cinnamon and clove, linger on the mid-palate, leading into a nuttiness, reminiscent of roasted almonds.
Finish: Medium to long, showcasing a graceful fade of sweetness and fruit. The oak influence becomes a touch more apparent but remains refined, never tannic. A warming spice lingers, especially a soft pepper, with a final impression of dried fruit and a clean, slightly sweet and nutty aftertaste. Very mellow and well-integrated.
