Scott's Selection (distilled at Mortlach) 1961, 39 year old, 40.8%

Price: 175.00 Issue: Spring 2001 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Single Malt Scotch

Straw gold color. Very mature aromas of oak and citrus, with a hint of smoke, dry vanilla, floral and spice notes. Flavors are very mature and fairly dry throughout, mirroring the aroma’s dominant oaky vanilla notes, with citrus, and subtle smoke. Long, lingering finish.
