1980s House of Commons No.1 12 YO 5cl vintage spirits

1980s House of Commons No.1 12 YO 5cl vintage spiritsHouse of Commons 12 yo 'No. 1' (40%, OB, Buchanan's, + 1985) Colour: Light gold. Nose: Some old malts in there for sure, you do find soot, marrow, bouillon, metal polish, old coins and all that, as well as resins and mint, and apple pies of course. Mouth: Starts well, on complex cakes and dried fruits, some camphor and some softer spices manage to keep it all afloat and I would happily declare, Mr Speaker, that it remained a pretty good whisky.

Finish: Medium with touches of malt

Flavors of green tea

released in non-declared years

It goes onto some apple skins and black pepper

On the palate Juicy & herbaceous with apricot and mango flavours

Lagavulin 16 yo (43%

charred wood

chunky sherry / coastal profile is something I find extremely ‘Bunnahabhain’

and mildly bitter

Liqueured with the very best blossom and Scottish Highland honey fragranced with the essence of nature's finest herbs
