reeks of olden times, when whisky was made by man and not machines, and when computers were only used for true science or by governments. Wonderful notes of butter cream and citron liqueur, cantaloupe melons, rosehip tea, lilies (have you noticed that modern whiskies have lost their floral scents?), and ripe apricots. Reminds me of a rare spirit the Swiss make – that would be forbidden in France because of prussic acid – called apricotine. Not that our dear Swiss friends seem to be in badder shape than us! Same with the Swiss franc, by the way, ha-ha

the oak’s a little loud, sure, but other than that, we’re witnessing the most wonderful invasion ever. Quinces, plums, obscure citrus, unknown stone fruits, long forgotten small berries… The complexity is unheard of – again, despite a rather invasive oak – and this is like listening to an original recording of Charlie Parker. Sure the sound isn’t the best ever, but the player was. Are you following me?

the oak is taking over, and that was to be expected after 39 years in wood. But this is like a painting by an old master, it might get a little bituminous, but the style remains eternal
