Glenkinchie 27 year old The Floral Treasure (Diageo Special Releases 2023), 58.3%

Vanilla, whole almond, and noticeably grassy, with attractive floral notes, chamomile, and lemon, but it feels the nose would open up more with water. Sweet and honeyed to taste, with nippy clove and bitter lemon sweetening to fudge, lemon meringue pie, and light oak, with more lemon zest, cinnamon, maltiness, and Lotus Biscoff to finish. Water really helps to soften those spices.
