1966 Douglas Laing & Co. Old Malt Cask Probably Speyside's Finest Distillery 41 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

326 bottles from a sherry butt are all that there was of what's being described as a whisky for "extreme sherry freaks only." Undisclosed source, but this is believed to be Glenfarclas. One bottle only.

Other reviews... Colour: amber. Nose: completely different from the 1970, much more a minty/herbal kind of sherry at first nosing, with even whiffs of dill and celery, and then the anticipated cortege of raisins, chocolate, fruit jams (blackberries), leather, soy sauce and game. Rather wonderful, the 1970 being a tad rougher. Mouth: very punchy, very concentrated and very dry, even drying actually. Huge tannins, overcooked wine sauce, pepper, fruit spirit, herb vodka (zubrovska), overinfused herbal tea (cherry stems, blackcurrant leaves). Gets a tad quieter after a while and more on mint just like on the nose. Heavy liquorice as well. Finish: extremely long, thick, coating your throat with tannins, liquorice and ‘fruit extracts’. Comments: sherrytastic - this is for extreme sherry freaks only. The nose is quite fabulous but once again, if you don’t like sherry in your malt you’ll abhor this.
