I guess the price of this bottle is more due to the age of the whisky than by its quality. This whisky is really excellent, but compare to the 15 years old version, it is a little bit disappointing, and it is difficult to forget about the price.... This version (which is difficult to find now) is however still a reference. The finish is also a little bit disappointing, because quite shorter than the 15 years old version.

The nose varies between sweetness and acidity, with fruity notes, ripe melon to (sweet) lemon on the background.
A certain complexity in the palate, with some discrete nuances from malt to fruits.
A pleasant finish, a bit woody and slightly salted.

A rather discrete nose, however pleasant and perfumed, slightly acid announces an interesting bottle
The taste remains a kind of spicy malt, and the finish comes back to sea hints and is of average length. A good bottle, but this confirms that older whisky does not always mean exceptional quality....

The nose is slightly spiced with tobacco hints, sherry and resin. Despite this diversity of tastes, the nose remains rather common and simple, with a lack of excitement.
In the palate a clear impression of linearity even if it does not make it a bad whisky. Woody notes mixed to citrus fruits dominate this quite boring whisky.
The finish is relatively short, in slightly bitter tones, and without any extravagance.
