76 blend with long-term Oloroso finish - you don't have that in your glass every day.
First behave a bit in the nose. Lots of oak, cognac notes, raisins and balsamic vinegar. Over time, dry plums, floral grain sweetness, a little nut and dry Oloroso wine sweetness are added. But wood is the dominant factor. The old age is clearly there and the aromas are super deep and interwoven.

In the mouth then a softer, then more and more spicy approach. Lots of dry sherry notes, walnut and olive oil, thickened grape must and plum, old wood.
Strangely, the finish comes with a subtle grain note and vanilla before the wood strikes again. Very dry and stimulating saliva with Oloroso Sherry notes, but the finish is dominated by old wood, bitter oak and a little tannic acid. Unfortunately only medium length.

Really great nose and a sharp aroma profile with real age and still wums. Maybe a little too much wood, but that's a matter of taste. I think the top is a little more exhausting than comparable blends. Stop something challenging for us malt heads. However, it is not a must-have.

@ Noface83: Thanks for the great description. But: "However, it is not a must-have." But ... for 1976 vintages already ;-)

Creamy-fruity, sweet, spicy, the tree is also noticeable, but nice 23-23-22-22

Intense & Waxy
This blend has remained under the radar a bit I think, for it is still available. Admittedly, 300 EUR is not cheap, but when you know that all components are from 1976 and matured for at least 42 years, almost half of that on oloroso sherry butts, then it seems quite reasonable. And it’s very good too! It consists of the following malts and grain: Ben Nevis, Clynelish, Teaninich, Macduff, Dailuaine and Invergordon.

The nose is soft and accessible and I must admit that I smell mostly the grain, but that doesn’t bother me. Raisin, banana, pencil shavings, peach, cherry and tobacco. It quickly turns a little creamy and softly seasoned. I even get some dessert wine on the nose, followed by orange liqueur. This is very pleasant.

The arrival is honeysweet and quite intense flavor wise, nicely waxy and a tad piquant on cloves. The fruit from the nose returns, while the oak adds a bitterness without dominating. This is pretty lovely after 42 years of maturation.

While the finish starts juicy and adds some dark chocolate, it slowly turns dry, but far too late to crash this party.

Exceptional blend that was finished on great wood… if you can call that a finish. That’s more a second maturation, wouldn’t you agree? Anyway: top dram!

Good dram - certainly not a must-have

Very pleasant on the nose but unfortunate for me the taste was disappointing. Very watery, bitter aftertaste and also sour. I expected allot from this whisky but i honestly must say i have tasted better whisky’s from the Maltman.
