Distillery No 4, Release No 4 1989/2007 (45%, Gordon & MacPhail Secret Stills, casks #7058-7059-7052-7054, 1500 bottles).
Colour: gold.
Nose: perfumy (lavender), with also more straight peat smoke. The farminess is toned down and there’s a little less cask influence. A marginally cleaner, but also simpler vatting.
Taste: Caramel, butterscotch, vanilla and sweetened tea.
Finish: medium-long but a little drying, with quite some salt.
