1984, 40 Years Old
Refill Butt
40.4% ABV
Artwork by: KK Hiroshima
Nose: Waxed lemons, light, coastal smoke, sea spray, peat bog beneath ancient lavender fields. Plum and nectarines, slightly medicinal. Cream soda, but maybe not the freshest can. Something about French perfume.
Palate: Citrus continues on the mouth part, with notes of orange sherbet, menthol, eucalyptus, spearmint and some salted caramel. Green tea, kiwi skin and olives. BBQ syrup.
Finish: Ashy and peppery, with some brightness.
Thoughts.
We have had a fun time following the breadcrumbs and deducing what we can from the cask tags on this baby. It would seem that, at the very least, this has been resting in cask since 1998, marrying together for the last 26 years. At the time that it was re-racked into the butt we received it in, the age of the youngest spirit in this vatting was 14 years old.
The liquid itself would suggest that there is a high proportion of Islay malt, some well known for producing quite perfumed whiskies from the early-80s to early-90s.
After four decades in cask, and some helpful companions, this spirit has been tempered into a very elegant and engaging blended scotch whisky.
