starts on bold and scary notes of varnish and cellulose but they are soon to give the fruits some elbowroom. We have quite some apricot pie, ripe peaches and strawberries, spear mint and fresh almonds… It gets then nuttier and nuttier (roasted hazelnuts), with also some melon and plums… Notes of light honey, heather, cigarette tobacco, all that being quite fresh and lively despite the old age. Whiffs of spices, the malt getting very minty after a few minutes, with hints of lemon balm. Enjoyable, no doubt, even if not enormously expressive

oh yes, there’s quite some wood in there. It’s far from being just plank juice like some other oldies but there’s quite some tannins indeed, notes of immature fruits (plums), liquorice roots, bold nutmeg and pure cocoa, getting quite bitter and drying after a while. Notes of varnish again (not that I drink varnish usually), walnut liqueur, the whole getting cardboardy and slightly sour (cider apples). It gets a little difficult now, sort of tight and thin – except for the wood. The finish is rather short, lacking body and frankly woody. Well, the nose was very nice but the mouth is maybe too dry, slightly tired and a tad disappointing, unlike all other malts from this series I’ve had, all ranging from very good to excellent. 80 points . Balblair 10 yo (57%, OB for Pinerolo, late 1970’s)
