Glenlochy 38-year-old 1965

scotch whisky Whisky

Glenlochy, 38 Year Old (distilled 1965)

RRP £1,860

This was a surprise, because Glenlochy is not seen often and is frequently not as good as this bottle. Very fruity, with plenty of esters presenting as hair lacquer and candied fruit. Desiccated coconut and dried pineapple mix with a delicate smoke. Subtle incense and cloves come through at the end in a very complex whisky.
