Inchgower 30 Year Old 1982 A.D. Rattray cask 6964

Finally, this is cask #6964, meaning I have now tried four casks from the same series. Quite unique, I must say. This Inchgower was also distilled on 30th June 1982, but A.D.

In the meantime, the malt has been in the bottle for two and a half times as long as it has been in the cask. Liquid history? You bet. Ah, that's a real old school nose. Metallic,...
