The clear bottle format is something I've never seen before for this distillery. Typically, these bottlings often have a strong soapy perfume that lingers for a long time, making me cautious before drinking. However, I didn't detect any soapy notes at all. Instead, it offered a pleasant aroma with a balanced old character and sensuality. I could also perceive diverse natural fruitiness, leather-like nuances, and lingering barley notes, likely influenced by bottle aging. On the palate, despite its alcohol content, it delivered a spicy kick while expanding its flavor profile. Surprisingly, it had good depth and body. The rustic barley umami that lingers on the tongue was particularly impressive, and the drinking experience was very pleasant. This seems to be an old bottle approaching its peak, and I believe I drank it at a good time.
