This was certainly distilled before WWII. Colour: full gold/pale amber.Nose: kind of a mixture of all other three. Superb. Old leather, beeswax, fresh mint leaves, putty, butter, almonds and walnuts, dried beef, ham, humus, old furniture. Hints of horse sweat. Mashed potatoes (strange at that age). Mouth: excellent attack, even if it’s a tad dusty. Big mint and liquorice, orange liqueur (triple-sec), chlorophyll, strong tea, walnut skin and smoked ham. Touches of peat. Strawberry sweets. Truly excellent, very complex. Finish: long, a tad drying again now, with also kirschy notes – also quetsche eau-de-vie (or zwetschke). Comments: great stuff that really stood the test of age, both in its casks and in its bottle. Great balance and excellent complexity.
