this one is strikingly more medicinal up front, with the same familiar waxy power behind that, then crushed nettles and flints that recall Loire sauvignon, chalk, aspirin, petrol and artichokes in olive oil. There seems to be a level of distillate power here that's above and beyond indeed. Also white flowers, citrons and vase water that sit alongside these more industrial and mechanical characteristics, which only serves to elevate the overall feeling of complexity. With water: aniseed, verbena and overall a more medicinal and herbal side dominating now. Extremely mineral, pure and a sense of perfectly rounded distillate and totally silent, almost submissive wood (as it should be!)

pow! Stunningly, powerfully waxy, extremely mineral, salty, tense, pure and petrolic. On seawater, gherkins, waxed hessian, rapeseed oil, tiny background tarry notes, herbal ointments and beach pebbles. I'd also add salt-baked vegetables, green olives and squid ink. Powerful, almost brutalist whisky, but the level of distillate charisma is quite staggering. I'd also add that it feels rather different from many of the other 1996s, which may be down to the younger age, or just one of those mysteries of single cask variations. With water: immensely fat, pretty much clinically obese distillate! That waxiness is back in full force, resurges like the Red Army circa 1943!

wonderfully long and dominated by a stunningly brittle and pure saltiness. Magnifique!
