Tasting notes by Serge Valentin (WhiskyFun.com) 90/100 points

There's been a 6 yo 1995 under this flag that had been rather magnificent (WF 90).

Colour: white wine.

Nose: extremely oily, on graphite oil, lamp oil, with really a feeling of fatness. By the way it moves like oil in your glass. Other than that, we're finding sourdough bread, chalk, limoncello (again!) and the obligatory mustard. With water: raw wool, new jumper, old tweed jacket.

Mouth (neat): high-power coastal arrival, full of mineral oils, green lemon, chalk and oyster shells, then a little barley syrup and a pepper + chili combination that works extremely well. And a lot of mustard and horseradish. With water: sublime sharpness, yet a very fatty mouthfeel. Gets very mineral too.

Finish: very long, pure, peppery, ashy, lemony and chalky. Awesome salty aftertaste. Comments: as we often say, another Sancerre of whisky. I love it, it's exactly my favourite style. I could have gone even higher but let's hold our horses, this is an 8 yo
