40 Year Old<br />
(Scotch Single Malt –<br />
Speyside – First Vatting /<br />
Release)<br />
“When pressed<br />
<strong>to</strong> say which<br />
is the best<br />
whisky I have<br />
ever tasted,<br />
this keeps<br />
coming up as<br />
my personal<br />
favour<strong>it</strong>e. Not<br />
that there is<br />
anything wrong<br />
w<strong>it</strong>h the other<br />
releases, but the first vatting is<br />
probably the most memorable<br />
for me. A perfect balance<br />
between fru<strong>it</strong>, sweet notes, rich<br />
barley, drying oakiness, <strong>it</strong> is<br />
abundant and mouth watering<br />
w<strong>it</strong>h a warming finish that<br />
leaves you longing for more, and<br />
completely in love w<strong>it</strong>h whisky.”<br />
