one of 219 bottles, Bourbon Barrel
The aroma is elegant with a sense of aging, estery notes, concentrated orange tea, loquat, and from the depths, a rustic barley or cinnamon character. Upon drinking, it has a smooth mouthfeel, with estery and matured fruits similar to the aroma, a fruit cake with loquat, gentle sweetness, and from mid-palate to finish, a slightly clumsy texture. The aftertaste isn't long but is beautiful.
【Good/Very Good】
Signatory bottled Glen Scotia 1974 in 2007, aged for 33 years. Due to the long aging process, the alcohol content is relatively low. As expected, a very fruity and estery maturation character, common in Duncan Taylor-style whiskies, was clearly felt both in the aroma and flavor. While it has these fruity and elegant nuances, when drinking, there was a slightly rustic nuance from mid-palate to finish, which made me think it had a touch of 1970s Scotia. The body is indeed lighter, and the aftertaste isn't long, but it fades cleanly, which is still quite good.
