Nose: Soft notes of citrus and orchard fruits. Ginger and vanilla. I also detect oak, bees wax and petroleum. With time the citrus notes have a touch of grapefruit.

Taste: Rich and soft. Comfortable in every sense. Ginger and vanilla again. Whipped cream with a touch of lemon zest. Softly oaky.

Finish: Long finish. Still fruity - now exclusively citrus. Vanilla and a rich creamy sweetness. Also white pepper in the end.

Comment: A royal dram indeed.
