Never tried this baby before, but I remember well a flabbergasting 65/93 by SigV (WF 93 back in 2016). Colour: straw. Nose: there is some obvious parentage, styles being similar, with a lot of citrus, chalk, and green fruits, and then these notes of eucalyptus. But this one goes a little farer, becoming frankly medicinal after just five minutes. We’re talking bandages, tincture of iodine, camphor, cough syrup and all that. And a lot of chalk, once again. Very pure. With water: extraordinary. We’re in an herbalist's old shop and there are many herbal teas, embrocations, strange balms, and indeed old furniture and waxes. Mouth (neat): smashing mineral and mentholy grapefruits and lemons, in their purest form, with a little pine nut oil. Amazing purity. With water: resins and saps first and foremost plus a little Chartreuse and old forgotten herbal liqueurs made by monks. Fantastic. Finish: long, pine-y, resinous, and curiously floral this time. Zucchini fries? Comments: it’s one of those old Rosebanks that could make you think of Springbank. Perhaps was that because it was triple-distilled, while Springbank’s notoriously two-and-a-half times distilled? Pure speculations – and another glorious galaxy-class old Rosebank
