These San Obair bottlings are always overpriced imo as they come in expensive crystal decanters that does not make the whisky magically taste better, anyways, excited to try a Bladnoch from 1980! Always exciting to try these old Lowland drams, apart from the ridiculously overpriced OB Rosebanks of-course

Nose

A very funky funny nose, a bit gunpowder, slightly nutty, perfumy

Body

Sweet, slightly soapy, hazelnut creamy, oily nuts The slightly soapiness makes this a less than ideal dram, which is quite a shame

Finish

Long creamy finish
