Comments: 

I had this one years ago, but it was disappointing - probably a spoilt or fake bottle. So today I am remedying the situation. It turns out that it’s magnificent. Oily and deep, intensely flavoured whisky with classic Millburn flavours, and just a hint of old bottle effect.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
