Macallan-1955
Bottled in 1970's. Imported by Rinaldi, Bologna. Distilled by Macallan-Glenlivet Ltd., Craigellachie. Bottled by Campbell, Hope & King Ltd., Elgin
Good labelling. Level: into neck.
"...Wet gravel, tar, soot, mint liqueur and bitter oranges. Superb notes of carnation, butter crème, honeydew, mint-flavoured tea... And big notes of morels. Wow. Espresso. Globally less sherried than the 1959 but maybe even more complex. The palate will determine which is our favourite... Mouth: extraordinary. It's got everything. A movie-malt that keeps changing while remaining extremely coherent. Dried fruits, herbs, jams, spices, leather, shoe polish (tarry and phenolic), tobacco... Oh well, please call the anti-maltoporn brigade! Finish: amazingly long, dry, clean... Superb pepper. We're close to perfection." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
