House of Hazelwood The Legacy Collection 44 year old The Silk Traveller, 47.6%

Dripping honeycomb with a dollop of vanilla cream on the nose, then some dry, aromatic spices, turmeric, cumin, and a pile of oak shavings. Sweet honey notes with ripe pear and honeydew melon, then a swirl of clove and black pepper well up beneath the tongue, rounding off with sweet peanuts, walnut oil, seasoned oak, and a hint of creamed corn, before a finish of oak and graham cracker.
