I've poured a (tall) Springbank 21 for cross-reference.

I have this sitting for about 30mins now, still yet to taste it. What a beautiful old school sherry profile, they simply don't, and probably can never make them like this ever again.
Immediately, I'm hit with that old-style sweet peat, it's vegetal on the nose at first whiff. There are scents of dunnage and hessian with hints of fresh lemongrass. I've just pulled the first layer away, (like when you peel that piece of plastic off a brand new mobile phone from the box.)
Now things are starting to get dusty, antique books, old leather soafers, pipe tobacco. It's a medley of scents from an old antique store, simply exquisite.
Where are the fruits? Oh yes, they're jumping out the glass now its breathed for an hour now, beautiful ripe tropical fruits, mangos, rockmelon, ripe tomatoes, apricots & peaches, hints of ginger and balsamico oak. -
viscous and thick in the mouth, tropical fruit on the palate, the sweetest oak integrates throughout, that antique leather, tobacco, is vintage a tasting note? It ought to be because that's what it tastes like. Someone has transported me back to my aunties house in the 1980s, and I taste the air emanating from the sitting room, with couches covered in plastic, I can even hear the sound of the grandfather clock ticking away. Amazing is an understatement for this dram.

No oak bitters here like you might find on - old school sherry drams. Just elegant. finished with hay, hessian, dunnage, sweet fruits and candied ginger and sweet spices.
Amazing! I can't speak. I can't describe how the palate just so seamlessly integrates, I'm struggling to find any type of flaw.
It's entirely mouth-coating, the finish is long and I can still taste everything. The Bowmore 60s (because it needs a "The" in front of its name.) I swear this wasn't distilled on Earth.
