Signatory Vintage
Inverleven(Silent) 31 Year 1977
Signatory Vintage Inverleven 31 Year 1977. Waxy right away with furniture polish on the nose and a very old-school feel. The palate is hot and a narrow. It mostly hits the tip of the tongue instead of really spreading across. The finish hangs around with wax and a slight bitter edge. Interesting and clearly mature but not fully put together. — 22 days ago
Suntory
Selection Special Quality Whisky
An interesting bottle I didn’t plan on opening immediately but got it cheap and unfortunately the cork failed in shipment. Coincidence? In any case I didn’t think whiskey could be corked but this clearly is. You could still taste the whiskey but over time it just wears on you and builds. I’d say this is like a standard Hibiki. It would have been pleasant and fun to taste with others in comparison but nope. — a month ago

I will start by saying that Hillside Select is a great wine and suggesting otherwise sounds rediculous. That said I was hoping for more punch here and I think the 13yrs just tamed it more than I expected. It just seemed a bit muted to me and while I gave it some time/air it didn’t really open up that much more. — 2 days ago
