Glenlochy Roger y Gallet carnation soap 23 Year Old, Refill Hogshead Cask, Cask #62.9, 1979, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 56.1%

The refill hogshead is a useful detail, though the notes point more clearly to the whisky’s fresh, perfumed character: sweet peas and carnations lead into a clean, sweet-acidic palate. That unusual floral edge sounds appealing.
