Speciella Vintages

[Norling]

Jag diskuterade denna fråga med Charlie Maclean nyligen och så här svarade han på den:

....

You mention 1972. This was just the time when the individual distilleries modernised/expanded their

production - some pre some post 1972, but most around that time. Frankly, the whisky made pre-modernisatio was at leat

'different', and many would say 'better'.

The excellence of the older 'vintages' you list will be dow to a) cask selection, and b ) to the fact that it was common practice

in those days to add much older whiskies to the vatting.

Your thoughts about possible influences are intelligent, and might possibly have made an impact, but I think the above is more relevant.

Edit: blev visst en smily mitt i allt!
