Exclusive Malts (distilled at Cameronbridge) 1984 33 year old

Top notes of hay honey and caramel over a spicy core pulsating with pepper rye spiced Quaker Oats and freshly planed wood. An epic battle ensues: round after round of citrus vs. spice both growing stronger as they slug it out; jabs of sweetness meet a chastisingly nippy right hook until eventually exhausted both protagonists drop their guard. Dry crackling spice and sugared almonds run through a mighty long finish.
