Dufftown-Glenlivet 8 yo (80° proof, OB for Ghirlanda, Italy, +/-1968)
Colour: straw.
Nose: seville oranges, camphor, soot, ashes and walnuts. Same kind of tobacco. Perfect power.
Mouth: it's very waxy and kind of petroly, with then a lot of old liqueurs, tars, oils and crystallised oranges and citrons. An unbeatable style.
Finish: long, pleasantly sour (towards lemons and green apples), which further 'lifts' it. Wonderful freshness and the aftertaste is unexpectedly salty. A wee bit of mustard too.
