77- Nose
- Chocolates in a cedar box.
- Palate
- Firm. Tightly combined flavours. Chocolate. Faint hint of ginger.
- Finish
- Gentle, long, warming. More obvious ginger.
- Comment
- Leaner, drier, less estery and more oaky than the version that has no age statement. I like each equally, in its own right.

87- Nose
- Notes of cherry and sherry with malt, peat smoke and oak combining for maximum complexity.
- Palate
- Fat and oily; like the nose hinting slightly at bourbon.
- Finish
- Long and intense with more smoke and a build up of drier, spicier oak.
- Comment
- This is a classic whisky in any language or any culture.
