Tasting Notes
"1983 is often thought of as a year synonymous with excess. This is as whisky that has interesting stories to tell, with flashes of elegance. Delicate burnt orange, baked apple and cedar notes play into malted chocolate, caramel and toffee. The finish is long and spicy, just like a good story about that time at the Palladium VIP room with Warhol, Jagger and Bowie."
