Distilled in 1977 and matured in refill American oak hogsheads and refill European oak butts, only 2,984 individually numbered bottles are available worldwide.The nose offers a wave of fresh citrus, smoke and wood ash with mint and toffee accentuating notes of leather polish. The palate is smooth and slightly waxy with lemon peel and wood ash notes rising above a sweet caramel before a minty, peaty tang develops. The finish is long with ginger and dark chocolate aspects.
