A high strength twenty-year old from Inverness, I guess there will be less and less of those in years to come, if any. Glen Mhor, Millburn and Glen Albyn, not many people miss these, but I believe there was magic made in Inverness, it just disappeared when they added water to dilute the spirit. The color on this one is dark golden. It smells spirity, sawdust, chalk, raw onions, oaky, paraffin, roasted nutmeg, really a peculiar one. The initial sweetness of bananas and vanilla only lasted a couple of minutes, and now its ridden with weird notes. But, let me emphasize this, it's not bad in any way! The taste is peppery, corn starch, vanilla, maize, rice vinegar, juniper berries, wheat flour. Initially it doesn't strike me as a lost treasure. Let's add some water. Now it turns sweeter, some coal and gun powder, a really strange one, dry gin and rubber is what I'm getting. The finish is peppery, burnt, a bit of rubber, quite ordinary.
Next tasting: Laphroaig Distillery
