There’s this metallic note and hints of pencil shavings that makes it come accross lighter and thinner. Then aniseed moves forward, with other herbs, liquorice and a vague yellow fruitiness. Also lemongrass and faint hints of pear. Mouth: quite strong and spicy, again showing a clear woody footprint (anise, pepper, ginger) alongside hints of acetone and plastics, vanilla and liquorice. Then a briney side, with floral hints. Pine nuts and herbal oils. Mint. Cedar in the background. Finish: long, quite salty now. Resinous notes and mint. A tad wider than the 1988, although still on the austere side of the spectrum, I’d say. Very pure and focused. Still available from Whiskymarket for instance. Score: 89/100″
