Old School Single Malt 50 Years (Signatory Vintage)

While officially undisclosed, this Old School Single Malt is probably from Bunnahabhain. Signatory Vintage released three or four already in a few months time, all sister casks. Indeed Bunnahabhain is probably one of the only coastal distilleries of which there are enough casks left of this age (especially 1973-1975), and we'll see whether it fits the profile.  Old School Single Malt 'Coastal Edition' 50 yo (43,1%, Signatory Vintage 2025, Batch #3, Oloroso sherry butt, 672 btl.) Nose: pretty great. There's a fresh breeze of eucalyptus and pine forest, on top of the polished furniture notes, leather and mild pecans. Underneath there is some roundness of marzipan and vanilla, along with salted caramel. Then a nice layer of dried apricots and candied oranges. Also raisins, subtle hints of red berries and indeed a coastal note. Complex. Mouth: the wood left its mark, sure, but it comes with mint, candied ginger, subtle resins and plenty of dried herbs. Not too drying actually, it bala
