72Black Bull 40 Years Old Batch 2, 41.9% abv
This will be bottled in the Fall of 2012. Watch for it! Mint, apples pears and allspice on the nose. There is an element of dry grass that starts out on the palate which is quickly followed by essence of brown sugars. The finish is light and delicate with melon and kiwi fruit flavours.

92Glenglassaugh Revival 3 Years Old, 46% abv
A few citrus notes on the nose. The overall impression is of a light and young spirity whisky. It had a very nice warm finish. This will obviously improve with ageing.

72An interesting dram indeed. Expected lots of smoke at the outset but instead was greeted by rich cerreal notes and then some light smoke. The peat and smoke eventually emerged on the palale. A pleasant dram with a medium finish.
