1970s Dimple 12 YO 4cl

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

This is a miniture bottle from the late '60s/early '70s . The blend is mainly Glenkinchie (lowland) and Linkwood (Speyside), making it easy drinking, but with some depth.

Colour: Full gold.

Nose: Complex, smoky, resinous, fruity and spicy… That is to say perfectly balanced. Candied oranges, peat smoke, seawater, iodine, spearmint, tobacco, old leather… I told you, it’s very complex. Brilliant in fact.

Mouth: how rich! Amazing presence and oomph, starting on something like ‘resinous oranges’ and developing on loads of various spices and mints, lemon balm, ‘good’ marshmallows, liquorice drops and just a tiny little bitterness that may come from wood. Masterfully composed.

Finish: Long and in the same style.

Comments: an exceptionally composed blend. Was Stravinsky working at John Haig’s? Now, seriously, all true whisky lovers know that old Dimples/Pinches were fab whiskies, but it’s always great to be able to confirm that.
