Royal Salute Art of Wonder Time Chamber 53 year old by Conrad Shawcross, 41.5%

Rich and aromatic on the nose, with baked orange, dark chocolate, plum, dried vine fruits, marmalade, chocolate truffle, and coffee bean that grows over time. It’s a smooth and relaxed blend of red apple, brown sugar sweetness, sultana, and maple syrup, with blueberry, bramble, dried apricot, milk chocolate, toffee light pepper, crystallized ginger, vanilla, and subtle coffee. Dark berries follow into a relatively short finish. (21 decanters, 2 for the U.S.)
