Review #1 of 12 from DC Whiskyfest 2018. I was only able to do 12 because I came down with something that afternoon that really messed with my head and stomach. I should have just stayed in the hotel room but I didn’t pay $350 for VIP tickets to sample my pillow! No scores for anything sampled as I don’t think it would be fair. OP 35 came across as very subtle on the nose with raisins, sherry and maritime notes. Oak, spice, salty, and sherry on the palate. Initial impressions were unfavorable but I think it’s safe to say there is much more to be discovered in this very old single malt, we simply didn’t have the time to investigate.
