Tastes

I was lucky to try a sample of this a few years ago and it was one of the first bottles I purchased. It had such a beautifully delicately vanilla note. At Dramfest I mentioned to the distillery rep I still had a bottle and was told it was now worth around $700USD which given I paid $120 was a great return on investment but sadly I think it may have to be turned into my first investment bottle rather than drunk!

I tried this on Ardbeg day after having finished my last bottle a couple of years ago. Still a great dram and for the price better than the grooves (which was more than 50% price premium). As someone else mentioned here it does seem a bit younger and less rich than I remembered but still great sherry and peat notes and to be fair I didn't add any water. 4.25
