Tastes

Following up the 2020 LR18. Nose on this is a little more interesting, but the three extra years aging adds a little oaky bitterness and a drier, shorter finish. It's very good, but I found it very slightly less enjoyable than the 18, so certainly not worth twice the cost.

2020 bottling. Pleasant, creamy nose, slightly musty. Custard, wood, light peat on the palate. Great balance. One of the best sub-20 year whiskeys I've had.

Light up front, pear, caramel apple, long finish. Better mouthfeel than expected for 80 proof.
