this is a sleeper masterpiece that leaves many other official 40yo + whiskies out in the cold

and often quite peaty - and are getting increasingly hard to find

The usual suspects of luscious green fruits

The sherry influence in this 1976 sets it apart from the other bottlings from this year

An independent bottling from the first distillery to be granted a Royal Warrant and one of only 3 distilleries to carry the name "Royal"

coastal and peaty stuff with an epic level of drinkability

A lovely old bottle of the Crawford's Five Star Deluxe 12-year-old blended Scotch bottled at some point most likely in the 1980s

clean earthiness to the sherry

phenolic and fruity dram filled with wood spice

Only 1926 bottles are available worldwide

Richly fruity with many notes of wax
