Not only a very well priced old whisky, but a stunning one at that. Distilled in 1982 the whisky was matured 37 Years in an ex-Bourbon cask. This Lowland Single Grain whisky was distilled in 1982 and bottled at 50.8%. Only a dozen bottles came to Alberta, exclusively to KWM.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: old Bajan rum, dulce de leche and bread and butter pudding; toasted coconut, butter cream and vanilla icing sugar and charred oak; silky and floral with white fruits and citrus.
Palate: soft, floral, decadent and toasty; more old Bajan rum, bread and butter pudding and creme brule; baked apple crumble, shredded coconut and butter cream icing; poached pears and figs in honey.
Finish: light but long and elegant; decadent, fruity and floral with delicate spice.
Comment: an absolutely beautiful old single grain; elegant, layered and complex with loads of fruits, spices and a buffet of desserts.
