Lot No. 40 12 Year Cask Strength

Revisiting this after 7 months of this being opened... It’s aged beautifully. The sharpness and heat have left and sweetness has taken its place. Really something special.

Almost perfect.

Absolutely incredible. Smooth, coats the mouth, oily, full-flavored with light spice, and fades slowly like a good memory.

Caramel and rye spices. Oakiness too. Lots of different spices here. Endless complexity.

Tastes exactly like the 2012+ yellow label lot 40 except enormously smoother.

Neat in a glencairn, wanted to try some before I crack my bottle... got lucky and found it at a local bar. Deep copper colour, matches the copper label! Big spicy rye, rock candy, and dusty oak on the nose. Sweet syrupy taste, not maple but like a sweet malted rye bread. Caramelized brown sugar, and spicy too. Syrupy and oily, with a looong medicinal finish. Really tasty. Get some while you can.
