I had the fortunate opportunity to share a sample of this a few weeks ago during a business trip (and fortunate to bring back about 10cl ). This is really a unicorn---not too many of these bottles in floatation. I actually never even heard of this distillery, really has always been used by Diageo for its blends, so original bottling as a single malt are quite rare. But...either Diageo happen to stumble upon amazing few casks which they designated for this special release, or they're testing out the market to see if they can diversify this distillery to go single malts in addition to blends. Adds another revenue stream, if capacity is able to produce. . I'm guessing the latter. Anyway, on to my impressions of this: nose is immaculate, like oranges, apples and vanilla pudding. The taste then reminds me of those Austrian waffle cookies---the soft buttery cookies that taste of caramel and chocolate. I love the finish. You get a hint of smoke, just a tad bit, but more of the oranges and app,es. This is really a rare treat, and as amazing as it is, is it worth about $250? It sounds expensive at first, and trust me...it is. Not everyone has the disposable income to spend $250 on a bottle. But, if you were to factor in the rarity, quality, and age, now all the sudden $250 seems fair. Just to compare---Highland Park Valhalla series was at $300 each, and they were barely 16 yrs old. Balvenie Tun 1409 and 1501 are over $300, at least. And neither of these were as good as this. I'm glad I got to sample...and if you happen to come across any, it's a strong recommended buy. Pitch in with a few friends and share---really a worthwhile experience.
