Palate: sweet, honey, maple syrup, gentle (I hate to say that), spices, sage, creamy, waxy, slightly dry
Finish: smoky, a hint of ash, new leather, slight metallic, marmalade, long, but slightly dry
Mark: +++/++
Mark: +++/++
Conclusion: Like many whiskies that have been in a bottle for some time, it took some time for the whisky to open up. She is definitely very mild and not comparable to a modern Ardbeg, but with some time into the glass, she gets to be really nice.
More info: distilled in 1973 and bottled into only 137 bottles in 2002.
Thanks Bennie, much appreciated.
