haha, there’s a little peat in there as well. At my ripe old age I don’t seem to remember they were peating some batches back in 1989… Or have they used an ex-peater barrel? Anyway, there’s also this trademark flowery/honeyed profile, rather delicate, subtly fragrant, that goes on with more orange blossom and vanilla as well as touches of guavas and other tropical fruits. Honeysuckle. This could be even older than 23, I remember old ex-refill circa 1968 Bunnahbahains that were rather similar

once again, this could be older. The oak brought some fine spices (white pepper, cinnamon) before more vanilla and orange cake come out. Not too sure about the peat anymore but I also enjoy these notes of Belgian gueuze beer, the touches of artisan cider and then the sweeter, more candied notes of, way Demerara sugar. It also reminds me a bit of the official XXV
timer Finish
medium, rather smooth, with some candy sugar and apple pie
