- Scotch Whisky
Description
The oldest of the three releases launched in their Archive Series, this 49-year-old spirit is a delight. Having been privileged to sample a wee dram of this recently, I was amazed at how vibrant and fresh something this old tastes. Sherbet lemon, honeycomb and intense red fruits come through at first. A complex, warming rusticity and incredible length brings out a beautifully balanced interplay of sweet red fruit, mellow cedarwood and tobacco box on the incredibly long finish. With the cask yielding just 83 bottles, only 20 will be available in the short term.
