60 yo Single Malt

[Piipriker]

With only 80 bottles total it is highly unlikely that much if any of this stuff will ever see the light of day except at auction, let alone the bottom of my crystal scotch glasses.

Yes, definitely a collector's item

"tasting notes" AKA marketing prose:
After maturing slowly for sixty years the result is a beautifully balanced Single Malt with poise and great complexity. The introduction to the whisky is one of fresh fruit and spices – aromas of Cox’s Pippins and Granny Smith apples, laced with cinnamon and root ginger. In the background linger subtle hints of lavender and rose petals, wrapped in a sweet, toffee parcel.

A sip of the whisky reveals the age and depth of character. Initially there are hints of cedar wood and freshly cut grass. However, these are quickly replaced by rich, burnt fruit notes with a drying, spicy edge and a dusting of white pepper. A smokiness twists its way through the flavour leaving a slightly bitter, treacle toffee finish.

I tend to like the most popular ages in all my singles. They are popular because they are bottled at their peak balance of character. Two of my favoites - Springbank and Highland Park - lost "the magic" in the cask during the extra decade.
