N: Syrup, molasses, chalky, medicinal sour, dusty candy, old skateboards, maple bonfire embers and an outdoor Indian market. Last time i was 'here’ was with those breathtaking G&M ’New Generations’ drams, WB & WB for example. We aren't quite 'there' but we are similar territory, and decade. T: Haha, the arrival hints at 'sweet' but it's decidedly medicinal bitter=sour with a handful of dunnage earth in the mouth - crazy dry, no words,…. F: Old/stewed mint tea, wood-soy and a valerian depth of epic proportions. There's really no [sherry] sweetness in the normal sense. I wonder how close this cask is to the 'devil's share' line? Seemingly an endless finish, one I took home with me in my mouth. An hour later and there's caramel smoke and wood milk - really I haven't the words/experience/knowledge for this kind of age= depth. C: Extraordinary stuff, kind of unscorable and possibly undrinkable in any quantity - but hey-ho i’ll give it a go. These really old drams often go beyond whisky as this one certainly does.
