n:  Old car carpet, cheerios

p:  Slightly bitter honeynut Cheerios. Red oak.  Tangy for a low-percenter.  Quaffable but ultimately forgettable. 

n: Lumber and Reese's Pieces candy

p:  Young and woody.  Almost too woody.  Really an almost pedestrian taste of a young, decent $55 scotch in the 31yr bottle.  Not bad, but not nearly as good as sister 687 cask.

n: Caramel and paint thinner

p: Musty orange peels.  Tweed. Citrus. Semi-sweet.  Decent but not great.

n:  oats

p:  pedestrian and malty.  Bit of wax.  Just another ho hum dram. 

11/22/1978 - 11/1993   cask# 9770

Bottled exclusively in Scotland for The Master of Malt 

n:  Fresh cut summer grass

p: Thin and simple.  Just sort of a flavor lacking blend taste. Why did MoM want this? Whatever. 

n:  Rotten fruit and perfume gone wrong

p: Imagine letting neutral spirit sit in a rusty pail for 10 years.  Pretty much this.  Well, now I can say I've had a a Kinclaith.  Now I'm sure the count will stay at one. 

n: Wet wood and raisins

p: Bitter and undefined.  At best similar to the old Glenmorangie Portwood. 

n: white grapes

p: Simple whisky with fresh cut wood.  Not too much going on.  

n:   Coconut and orange peels (perhaps a little moldy) and mint leaves.  Strong.

p:  Bitter wood stems.  Earthy/woody.  Sort of a decomposing vegetal.  Perhaps too old.
