[43.0%・12 Years Old・Distilled Circa 1975・Bottled in 1987・Zenith Bottling・Limited Release]
Nose:
Pleasingly old school, gently malt, mild fruitiness and light creaminess. A slight respectful citrus brings a vibrant note. All is rounded and well balanced.
Palate & Finish:
A gentle and crisp drop, honey, limestone and hay wrapping the dry malt. Just a subtle hint of raisins gifting some citrus on the backend before the dram reverts to its malty core, playful and even.
A lingering loveliness of malt and honey with
a condensed jammy sweetness blossoming..
Thoughts:
A beautiful, rustic malt. The attractive softness of an Italian Rosebank embodied. Close to scoring two stars..
