Conclusion: Me Likey. The sweet notes from the ex-Sauternes casks where this beauty has matured in give the spirit a nice sweet overall scent, taste and a lovely finish somewhere between sweet and dry. Good stuff as an digestive or served as dessert whisky complementing a Crêpe Suzette, or even better: replacing the Grand Marnier in the recipe and served in a good measure for the remainder of the evening.
Great, now I am hungry.
