This superb 31 year old Campbeltown single malt was distilled in February 1967 at the Springbank distillery and bottled by the independent bottlers Murray McDavid in May 1998 (a misprint on the label incorrectly states the bottling date as May 1988).
COLOUR: gold.
NOSE: one of my favourite kinds of start, similar to when you just open a beehive (minus the stings). A marvellous combination of beeswax, all-flower honey and various kinds of resins. Add to that quince jelly, marmalade, a certain maritimeness, mango chutney, old books, a little patchouli and maybe 'ideas' of caraway seeds and you get a truly fantastic nose. After a few minutes: more pine resin, which is wonderful. Maybe even a little absinth, wet earth, shoe polish...
TASTE: firm, smoky, earthy and spicy at first sips, and then lushly jammy and fruity. Mirabelle pie, quince jelly once again, drops of cough syrup, liquorice, touches of Fernet Branca (comes from wood), a little pu-erh tea... Not whisky, a true story that you cannot – and shouldn't, in any case – rush.
FINISH: the spices get louder and that's normal. More marmalade and something tropical as well. Oranges, cumin. Slightly bitterish aftertaste, on Kräuterlikör, as our German friends say. Comments: just wonderful, a true friend for your evening. A ta santé - Serge Valentin 93 Points.
