[Good/Very Good] This is a 36-year-old Millburn from Douglas Laing's OMC. Although the aging period is long, it seems to have come from a relatively plain cask, so the aged character isn't prominent in the aroma. Instead, strong fresh herbal notes come through, with barley characteristics remaining, and a hint of ginger-like qualities. This type of aroma is relatively rare for such specs. The flavor has a refined texture, with the umami of barley lingering on the tongue, which is impressive. The herbal notes are positive and complement the barley characteristics. Although there's not much complexity considering the specs, this 1960s Millburn has many aspects that became diverse and appealing over time after bottling.
