Interesting drop. Viscous honey, vanilla, there is also a sulfuric meaty herbalness going on. I do like mortlach, craigallechie etc with the same surpheric, meaty flavour profile but what they don't have is that excessive lemony bitterness which comes along for the ride. The 26 year Glen Elgin Signatory I preferred which I gave a 3.75. 3 - 3.25 I'm thinking for this one.

@cascode yeah same impression here I rated that 1/2 a point higher :-)
@Soba45 I felt that the Signatory 26 cask strength was quite similar to this standard 12 year, maybe a little better but not enough to justify being more than twice the price.
