I hope you’re not getting bored of all these undisclosed 1970s Speysiders. I certainly can’t resist trying as much as I can. The latest on the market is this Speyside 1975 from Maltbarn .

Speyside region 41 yo 1975 (48,7%, Maltbarn 2016, sherry cask, 159 btl.)

Nose: this one has some of the typical fruitiness of the others, but much more intense beehive notes (pollen, honey) and waxy notes (waxed oak, a little turpentine). Mandarins and lemons.
