A VAUDEVILLE ACT

This 35 year old single grain whisky from a closed distillery is 53.6% after maturing in a refill barrel

Flavour profile:  Old & dignified

Outturn:  250 bottles

Panel's Tasting Note: "Once the largest grain whisky distillery in Scotland, it was closed and dismantled in 1983. Its make was never bottled by its owner and is very rare in indie bottlings. Jaunty for its age: ‘red patent-leather dancing pumps’ came to mind. A school art-room, with poster paint, Gloy glue, ink, vinyl and coated card – all behind vanilla fudge. Sweet and oaky to taste, with vanilla, coconut and light liquorice. With water it became a newly crafted coffin, wax-polished and resinous. A light texture and a short finish, with a hint of Murraymints and strong, lorry-drivers, tea, and condensed milk."

Drinking tip:  "While watching a school tap-dancing class"
