Rugby changing room urinals was my first thought. Those minty smelling things they put in the urinals to make them smell nice. Peppermint, green apple are the strong characteristics with this one. Waxy grass clippings others have noted which I get. I'm not usually a mint person but this strikes the right notes although I couldn't drink loads of this. All in all the ghost drams were a good experience but personally I think there are better examples out there from G&M e.g. St. Magdalene 1975 I had a couple of years ago. Given in 3 samples I just tasted 100 years and $2500USD (on a bottle basis) of drams I personally think you are better off buying loads of modern day classics or even older single cask versions of current day distilleries e.g. Glendronach, Benriach.

@Rick_M @PBMichiganWolverine As long as it's interesting I'm in whatever the (low) cost. The samples I taste for the rest of my life will almost certainly be cheaper!
@Rick_M is there ever ? ( correlation between cost and enjoyment?) 😊.
@Soba45 - these last 3 samples were a serious upgrade from your moonshine days of a day earlier. :) I agree that there is often times little correlation between cost and enjoyment.
@1901 - yes, the golf was incredible. It was a great trip and the whiskey fit in nicely as well. :)
@1901 Ah damn as I had $ on Ireland to win the world cup.. placed it several months ago. Lose, lose for me!
@Rick_M hope you enjoyed the golf holiday here. Japan deserved their win. @Soba45 It looks likely that Ireland will come up against NZ in the QF *shudder*
@Rick_M I really wish I'd put $ on Japan they were paying $8 or something at the time!
@Soba45 - Ireland losing to Japan did not go over well.
@Rick_M Ah nice! I played rugby and rugby league there for a couple of seasons when I lived there. Hope you are enjoying the world cup :-)
@Soba45 - the last 2 weeks in Ireland has turned me into a rugby fan. :)
