Original Tasting Notes :

Nose: Fruity, reminiscent of a sweet, juicy pear; with the perfume of heather in bloom; a hint of gentle, sweet spiciness and citrus with underlying, balanced, mature oak note
Palate: A beautiful,
rich fruitiness; velvety smooth; the creaminess of a warm fudge; a gentle whiff of smokiness; a long, smooth aftertaste of maltiness Craft facts
1972 is a unique vatting of just 10 casks. The newly-made spirit from a single's day distillation was filled into hogshead on 24 August 1972. This is a perfect combination of distillation excellence and traditional maturation.
The refill hogshead casks contributes a gentle mature oakiness with
sweetness and gentle spiciness combining beautifully with the fruity, floral, citrus notes of the distillate
