Only 30 bottles have come in to Alberta, exclusively to KWM. This is an insanely inexpensive 26 year old! Distilled in 1991 and matured in a Bourbon Cask, the whisky was bottled after 26 years at a very low cask strength of 42.5%. Cask 304, 380 bottles...
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: butterscotch, Toffifee, applesauce and white chocolate Hershey's Kisses; silky, dusty, strawberry Twizzlers; sliced orange and lemon with a touch of plata tequila.
Palate: sweet, silky, floral and creamy; loads of caramel, butterscotch, more Toffifee and white chocolate; loads of dry citrus: orange, lemon and lime; more strawberry Twizzlers; herbal tequila-mezcal notes emerge later with fennel.
Finish: light but long, it stays sweet, floral and toffeed; reminds me of a fine mezcal; elegant and smooth.
Comment: sweet, fresh and delicate; this is a bargain whisky... a 26 year old single grain, single cask whisky for less than $140; amazing!
