Nose
Beautiful nose with floral notes and butterscotch
Palate
Buttery and oily mouthfeel with real sharpness to the spice (possibly rice spice), not a whole lot of sweetness, nice textured finish with flavors well-preserved
Finish
Waxy but not dry, leaves a waxiness that coating the mouth without pulling moisture, clean exit
Top notch
A well-preserved dusty Early Times that held up admirably with buttery texture, oily mouthfeel, and pleasant floral and butterscotch characteristics.
