Comments: 

Finally cracked this bottle open, it's been sitting in my cupboard for a good decade or so. It probably wasn't a magnificent whisky when it was bottled, but time plus rarity value has really made a difference. It's fresh and fruity, quite light, plenty of green and white stone fruit. There's also a lot of old bottle effect, leathery, savoury rancio that covers quite a spicy finish.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
