Macalllan-1962
Bottled in 1970's. Imported by Rinaldi, Bologna. Distilled by Macallan-Glenlivet Ltd., Craigellachie. Bottled by Campbell, Hope & King Ltd., Elgin
Good labelling with some staining. Level: base neck.
"...What's absolutely striking is something that's relatively rare in whisky in my experience, and that's to be found more often in great well-aged wines, which is a profile that's essentially tertiary, that is to say a gathering of myriads of tiny flavours rather than a few massive ones. Pure poetry, in fact. Just a few examples, soot, passion fruits, papayas, graphite oil (its quite graphity, in fact), plum jam, pipe tobacco, rhubarb... And dozens and dozens of other aromas. Finish: maybe not the longest Macallan ever, and maybe the finish is a notch narrower, but these... raisins are beautiful. Comments: ultra-classic old-style Macallan. They can't be faulted."5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
