Nose

Butterscotch that has been melted on the stove, homemade butterscotch character, musty and dusty like grandmother's bedroom with old wood and cast iron

Finish

Musty and dusty finish with lingering old house character

Overall Score
2.8 / 5
A 58-year-old dusty that evokes nostalgic memories but shows significant oxidation and musty degradation from bottle age.
