This 30-year-old single grain Scotch Whisky comes from an undisclosed distillery, and is matured in ex-Bourbon casks. The nose is delicate and sweet with caramel candy, dark chocolate, dried fruits, and a hint of linseed oil. The taste is creamy with a nice kick of white pepper spice along with lemon zest and dark chocolate notes, while the finish is long with a lingering spiciness. (July, 2023)
