[Very Good] This Craigellachie 1972, bottled by The Bottlers in 1996, aged for 24 years.

The full-bodied sweetness, good oak nuances, and the deepening malty umami are clearly felt, with a well-balanced composition at a high level. This type may not be particularly complex, but it is one of my favorite examples of malt. It's deliciously obvious yet never tiring to drink, making it easy to keep drinking.
