Nose
Residual floral note with pronounced honey-roasted peanut character, peanut shell, sweet oak, and subtle baking spice. Light floral honey note persists distinctly despite the advanced age.
Palate
Sweet and delightful with honey-roasted peanut, praline, and vanilla notes. Sweet oak dominates without aggressive char. Creamy entry with substantial body. Pleasant texture that coats the tongue evenly.
Finish
Long and warm, substantial hug deep in the chest. Finish lingers well beyond the initial sip, encouraging contemplation rather than rapid re-sipping. Pleasant without harsh drying notes.
Remarkable
A lighter, more delicate 17-year expression that retains surprising floral and honeyed notes alongside mature oak, making it equally suited to solo contemplation or pairing with a fine meal.
