Thanks to @Scott_E, i was extremely fortunate to sample a pour of this. Only 150 winners were selected globally, to sample a pour from one of their 51 bottles, single cask. I was @Scott_E’s guest for this event in NYC. For a 51 yr old, it’s astonishing robust. Nose is all pineapples and warm brown sugar. But the taste is anything but fruity. It’s old leather, tobacco leaves, polished wood. Finish...like being in an old cedar wood library with worn out books. Something royally elegant. I’m not sure I’d ever have a chance to have a single malt this old. It was truly an experience; not just the whiskey, but the setting as well. It was in the basement of a darkly lit toasty warm bar, where the ground floor was an elegant restaurant, but a long alley way led to a speakeasy style bar in the basement. The tasting was private, behind the curtains. Regal, exclusive. Considering they have only 51 bottles from one cask, and only 150 winners, I’m thankful to have the opportunity. Thanks again @Scott_E
