The 1971 Vintage’s three-stage maturation history — blended in 1983 from 40 distilleries including malts and grains from every corner of Scotland, then the unusual double-stage wine and oak cask re-maturation across nearly three decades — creates the harmonious complexity of a perfect example of the magic that can happen between distillate and wood. One drop is not enough to unveil all the rich flavours developed during its long, multi-faceted maturation.
