1966 Dalwhinnie 36 Year Old Highland Malt, Cask strength 47.2 %Abv

Dalwhinnie 36 yo 1966 (47.2%, OB, 1500 bottles)

Very top shoulder signs of historial leakage

Colour: Amber. 

Nose: Starts a bit yeasty, but the complexity is well here. Quite a lot of oak, tannins, lactones. Develops on nutty notes, grass, herbs... Hints of mashed potatoes. 

Mouth: Smooth and mellow but it then gets both grassy and fruity (passion fruit, mango). A bit of burnt caramel, tea, white pepper. It then gets oakier and oakier... Some dusty notes, but quite amazingly, it isn’t too drying, in fact. 

Long finish, somewhat grassy. An absolute stunner.
