Producer's tasting notes:
1972: Warm chestnut in colour, a strong aroma blends wood spice with hints of peach tarte tatin. The taste takes off amidst a powerful rich maltines, notes of serrano ham, menthol and tobacco adding and intense complexity.
These flavours give way to pervasive Sichuan chilli pepper, before a wisp of dry coal smoke lingers long after the finish.
1977: Intensely deep and golden, this expression is elegant on the nose with creamy vanilla invigorated by freshly cut green apples and hints of beeswax. A sweetness washes over the palate, before a wave of wood spice and ginger cake unfolds.
Finally a long, sweet finish of peat-fired smokiness blooms in intensity.
1982: Glowing yellow gold in hue, sherberty lemon peel, and a touch of fresh green grass dance on the nose. Wood spice is gently revealed on the palate, whilst a mouthcoating waxiness is punctuated by hints of citronella.
It's graceful sweetness continues into the finish, with just a hint of lingering gunpowder smokiness.
