Not at what I expected. Mellow with vanilla and stone fruit on the nose and tongue. Very bourbony in an odd kind of way. Finishes with a sort of vegetal bitterness, almost like fernet branca. I think that’s characteristic of single grains, though my experience is limited. More fascinating than delicious, but I loved drinking it all the same. — 6 years ago
This is re-casked (believe correct term) in an Octave and therefore only 60 bottles available. I and the tasting group did not taste some of the flavor profile the bottler saw - pear/citrus and found it more wood/dried fruits/caramel/toffee. This one was the darkest brown if the group and I found the most flavorful. It’s power at 51.8%. Adding a drop of water I thought really changed the profile and made it run hotter for me. The finish on this lasts well past a minute. I usually don’t notice the finish for that long but this one stayed there for a whole and made so you didn’t forget it. Might be best if the night or at least tied with Blackadder. — 3 years ago
What an absolutely beautiful scotch. My 1st time ever tasting this particular bottle which I hear is no longer available. 25 year old Scotch and the bottle is 40+ years old as I recall. Thank you Steve for breaking the seal on this marvelous Gem!!!! Boy oh boy is that good. Better than any that I have had thus far in my life. 😍💯💯😍@Steve Colanero — 7 years ago

4th in tasting. I’m really liking this one. It’s just got a bit of everything nose, viscosity, taste, finish. Way solid. This is surprising to me since I would have thought that independent bottlers would have been at a disadvantage to the actual producer. Learning. — 3 years ago

Poached pear and candied ginger, cinnamon and cedar, pine, burnt, and smoldering. Apples, orange zest, dried apricot, candied pineapple nose.
Orange oil, cinnamon, caramel, lemongrass, lemon oil and grapefruit conspire on a racy finish that lingers with perfume.
Small production: 1/422 bottles
