It closed down the same year Bonnie Tyler sang about cardiac eclipses and somewhere in its nooks, an inky peat beast was hiding all these decades. 32 year old single malt Scotch whisky from an Islay distillery that was mothballed in 1983 and never reopened. The whisky comes from the final year of production. Matured in refill European oak butts it's a release of 2,964 individually numbered bottles. Highly sought after, there won't be too many more releases of this legendary malt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDeep polished copper. Impressive legs. Big sherry on the nose at first? Dates? Raisins? The peat is indiscernible, then comes a superb fruity burst: banana chips, dried fig followed by hints of fruit'n'nut chocolate and woolshed. Final pass drops the intensity and introduces hints of fruit cake and additional lanolin to the mix. Creamy entry. Thickens up with an intense, semi-sweet, oily, smokey, juicy fruit cake \/ lemon tart attack. Dries at the finish, rounding off with smokey dates and faint liquorice strap. Concludes super long, with hints of mint chocolate refreshing the aftertaste. Lingering ashy peat. More Sherry input than previous bottlings adds an extra twist.
