New iteration of the unpeated living bottle:

- 15 mL Glenturret ‘80/’00 (Blackadder)
- 20 mL Glen Moray 12 Chenin Blanc finish
- 25 mL Glen Moray 16
- 30 mL Glen Garioch 8
- 35 mL Aberlour 100
- 40 mL Aberlour 10, bourbon casked, Duncan Taylor bottling for Trader Joe’s
- 45 mL Balvenie Doublewood (aged in bourbon and finished in sherry)
- 50 mL Macallan 10, bourbon casked, for Trader Joe’s
Nose: Oiled leather, sherry, honey, sweet, soft, white rum
Palate: Leather, strong honey, very sweet, almost raisiny (but in a good way), lychee
Finish: Leather, perfume, oak. Enticingly sweet.
Notes: Really a charmer. 92/100
This is the best it’s been so far.

I particularly liked: “You should`ve see the look on the guy`s face when we gave it to him.” That was his retirement present! Maybe he liked it.

Apparently some people can’t live without it on their pancakes. Some people juggle geese, what can I say?
