The nose is quite rich - chocolate, toffee and hints of the smell I associate with a new leather couch.
The taste continues the chocolate and toffee, and adds a taste that reminds me of the smell of secondhand smoke from quality pipe tobacco. Very smooth and a little dry. I'm no expert, but this tastes very mature to me.
The finish is gentle, but nicely warm and quite long. Some more chocolate and hints of fruit.
Overall, this dram is gentle, easy and smooth, but very fulfilling. I'm not sure it's quite worth the price tag, but it's certainly not too far off. By far the best Glenfiddich I've tasted, and amongst the top double handful of everything I'v tried.
