North British Chairman's Stock 40 Year Old, Refill Butt Cask, 1985, Cadenhead's, 51.9%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

That lingering sweetness gives this a nice little tail: creamy notes meet aniseed, caramelised white chocolate and soft wood. The nutty edge and Angostura bitters keep the finish from turning one-note. A playful, sweet-leaning character with enough contrast to hold my interest.
