Returning to the Northern Borders collection from 2017 for my second multi-decade-old sample of the night, and what a treat. It’s a perfect realization of the Bourye concept, much smoother and better integrated than the High West staple. Deliciously creamy upfront and peppery on the back-end, it wraps up with a very long finish that leaves an aftertaste like a satisfying bowl of vanilla ice-cream. I could drink this all night. For a whisky that’s spent 35+ years in oak, some of it fresh, the wood influence is remarkably well balanced. It’s by no means a complex dram, but for pure drinking pleasure you can’t ask for much more.

@LeeEvolved Thank you! I've got to seriously increase my sample consumption pace.
Hey Richard- I just wanted to let you know that I sent you a sample box today. It’s coming by UPS and should reach you on Saturday or Monday at the latest. Enjoy, sir.
