Tasting Notes
"Not much water is needed here, but try a couple of drops after nosing the whisky to see the change. You'll get a little more smoke, a little more brine, and a little more crude oil. Flavors such as peanut brittle and leather along with some pipe smoke create a fine balance between the sweet and smoke and that is alluring. This is a welcome dram with a pleasant flavor (if you like peaty Scotch, that is). Thirty year old whisky doesn't come a long every day; it is nice to take stock of where you were when this was distilled as you sip (and even more intriguing to think about if you were born after 1983).
