Diageo Rare Series 42 year old Clynelish 1983 Vintage, 49.5%

Fully matured in American oak hogsheads, this stately dram has aromas of golden syrup cake, nutmeg, cinnamon, and lavender soap. Easy to drink neat, the well-rounded palate embodies the renowned Clynelish waxy texture, with flavors of caramel, heather honey, chile flakes, white pepper, mustard seed, vanilla, dark chocolate, and a hint of dill pickle. A mouth-coating finish serves up salted caramel, dark chocolate, and lingering spice.
