"...Mouth (neat): once again, this is extremely close to the 1982. Maybe a tad more complex (yes, even more complex), with more tertiary aromas, and an even wider range of herbs and spices and quite some prune sauce (like they make in China or Vietnam, so fabulous). With water: okay, please read above. Maybe even more oomph. Finish: more oomph indeed. Even longer, with extra spices and touches of old-fashioned herbal liqueurs." (5 stars-Whiskyfun)
