Description

This original bottling was produced with very old maize whiskies aged in casks previously containing a Speyside single malt, as well as a small percentage of rye whisky matured in quarter casks previously used for a peated Scottish single malt. It is a small blend of 40-year-old whiskies distilled in 1982 by JP Wiser's in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

Nose
Rich, heady. Notes of grain, vanilla and wax, developing into milk pudding and candied citrus fruit (lemon, kumquat). Increasingly floral (broom, mimosa) with noble woody notes (oak, wood polish).
Palate
Lively, dynamic. The slightly oxidative attack (roasted pineapple, hot honey, cough sweets) ventures into syrupy lands (sugar cane, agave milk). The more floral mid-palate (dandelion, daffodil, daisy) scales deeply natural rustic paths. The end of the palate is energised with grapefruit and gentian root.
Finish
Long, smooth. The deliciously vanilla start (flan, éclair) reveals the presence of numerous aromatic plants (verbena, sage, sorrel, bay leaf). Spice bread and fresh walnut then feed a richer end. The particularly fruity retro-nasal olfaction evokes orchard fruits (peach, apple, pear, plum). The empty glass is balsamic (cedar, thuja) and powdery (rice).
