1960s Long John 4cl

This is an un - open, an appears to be a 4cl fill level

Long John used to be a heavy seller in France when I was young (yes, not so long ago).

Colour: Deep gold.

Nose: Dry and tea-ish at first nosing, then quite malty and chocolaty. Hints of old roses, sandalwood and oranges.

Mouth: Unexpectedly punchy, malty and peaty, dry, with also notes of bitter chocolate.  Big body.

Finish: Quite long, still malty, with notes of roasted peanuts.

Comments: Another proof that old blends really used to be much peatier than today’s versions.
