N: Wood polish, with a very faint floral note. Odd grain. P: Palate is wildly organic, tobacco, peculiar, unbalanced, but interesting. Spicy. F: Rolls in waves, a nice sweetness alternates with less than appealing funky aftertaste.
Nose is rather bourbony, with leather and solvent. Palate is woody and tannic, nutty -- almonds -- and with coconuts, too. Kinda bourbony still, but slight. Very light sweetness, and wasabi notes (I swear). Finish is quick, except lingering warmth. Despite the notes above, there's not a lot here to love and it's rather uninteresting. Water releases some feminine perfume scents and makes this a bit more enjoyable, but you're not missing anything here. (Upon discovering that this seems to be from the same batch as the other 40+ year North of Scotland I've tasted, I'm bummed!)
Arrggg. Coconut and nail polish remover. Heavier on the NPR. Granted, I don't really like coconut, but still, this is mostly just wrong. Nice luscious mouthfeel is it's only redeeming quality.
Retaste: Only because I wanted to empty the bottle for better purposes. Am starting to wonder what feminine perfume Mr. Herz is referring to.
