Comments: 

This is a lovely old blend, 5 casks from 5 different distilleries, vatted together for decades. It’s fig jam and honey, a little smoke, and a lovely bitter dark chocolate edge. This is very good, but I’m told there were just over 40 bottles available in total.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
