A 36 year old bottling from Glenury Royal, distilled in 1970 and bottled at cask strength.
The nose is delightfully musty with wood shavings and barley. The tannins are soft and subdued and the oak reveals a beautiful vanilla spice. The palate is full of rum and bourbon notes. Dark sugar and buttery fudge; creamy spices and vanilla. The spices are intense with a juicy barley and balanced viscosity. The finish is long and buttery with fudge and barley and soft oaken warmth.
What a superb whisky! Most of our tasting panel came up with the same answer, one of the very best! see; http://angelswhiskyclub.com/awc/decembertaste.asp The bottle is sadly half full, but, it will keep for another special time Paul McLean
