Great House Distillery 13 yo 2007/2021 (66.9%, The Duchess, Jamaica, cask #6) 
We've tried cask #18 in March, it was splendid. Remember, the 'Great House' is either Buckingham Palace, or Hampden Distillery. What are the odds… Seriously, whenever a Distillery forbids the use of its lousy name, it just feels like they're not proud of their output. Come on, wrong path, openness and transparency are true modern values, this is not 2010. Colour: white wine. Nose: pure vinegar, snail butter, riesling, olive oil, carbon dust, diesel oil, new bicycle inner tube and glue for patch chambers. With water: leek juice, bisphenol, phthalates, glues. There. Mouth (neat): boringly excellent, with very high esters (like <DOK), UHU glue and ultra-tight limey varnish. A shame that we couldn't be sure about the name of the Distillery that made this splendid, albeit slightly extreme juice. Or was it a German chemicals Konzern? With water: smoked gherkins coated with Pattex, Sikaflex and Loctite super Glue. Forgot to mention coriander leaves. Finish: long, chemical and gluey. Drinking walnut stain. Pure acetone and liquorice in the aftertaste. Comments: rather schizophrenically, we hate it that with love it so much.
