Comments: 

Very lucky to be able to taste this old Glenlochy, distilled before I was born. It's gentle and subtle, not intense like other old whiskies, lots of brassy, fruity and buttery notes. There's something tannic hidden among the sweetness. And such a long, long finish. Not that much old bottle effect - the celery is very light, there's much more leather and old books.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
