A slightly eerie and seductive old Bladnoch. Bladnoch BLADNOCH 1965 21yo Moncreiffe 46% The aroma has a good old-world charm, dusty antique furniture, apricot and plum jam, faint peach, concentrated black tea, vanilla, a slightly damp grainy note, a sinisterly seductive undertone. When drinking, it has a strong flavor despite its alcohol content, with the sweetness of ripe apricot, slightly sexy perfume-like nuances, mint, faint peat and grain notes, and a tingling carbonation-like aftertaste. 【Good/Very Good】 The Moncreiffe Bladnoch 1965, aged for 21 years. This series has been a while since I last drank it. The aroma has a strong old-world dusty character, but personally, I quite like these elements. It has a slightly concentrated jam and black tea flavor, along with a damp grainy note, combining with the old-world character to give a slightly seductive nuance. When drinking, it has a strong flavor despite the dilution, with the sweetness of ripe fruit and faint grainy and peaty notes. I could slightly sense perfume-like elements, but they weren't overpowering and felt like one of its charms.
