1988 Claxton's Warehouse No.8 Strathmill 35 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Old dunnage warehouses, the lightest dustings of cocoa, new leather, delicate poached orchard fruits and furry tannins are all suggested in this pussycat from Strathmill; hints of something fresh like mandarin peel, join rancio and light waxiness through the aftertaste. Sleek and polished, with a grace that makes it so easy and confident in its delivery. The kind of rare, aristocratic malt that demands to be enjoyed on its own. 44.2% Alc./Vol. 64 bottles only from an oloroso sherry octave. Tasted from a 30ml sample.
