Comments: 

No water in this, a magnificent 40 year old single grain whisky. The spicy notes are toned down by the age, less intense, but no less clear. Plenty of rye bread and cinnamon, even nutmeg, but this is offset by bitter coffee and a very bourbony brown paper note.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
