The Coleburn 1983 TWA Fossils Ex-Bourbon Hogshead whisky bottle is a rare find with only 120 bottles produced, making it a highly sought-after collectible. This exquisite whisky, bottled by The Whisky Agency, originates from the renowned Speyside region, specifically the Coleburn Distillery. With an impressive age of 26 years and bottled in 2009, this whisky boasts a unique and complex flavor profile that is sure to impress even the most discerning palates.
On the nose, this whisky offers a delightful blend of classic aromas, reminiscent of old-school Cadenhead, with an added fruitiness that is slightly evocative of Clynelish. Tangerines, orange blossom water, lime tree blossom, coal smoke, mustard, asparagus, flints, gin, and earthy notes all come together to create a symphony of scents that are both intriguing and enticing.
The palate is equally impressive, with an old-style, slightly artisanal profile that is complemented by an abundance of fruitiness. Oranges, light honeys, mead, roasted chestnuts, Provence herbs, greengages, mustard, and sweet horseradish sauce all meld together to create a truly unforgettable tasting experience.
The finish of this whisky is long and structured around the cask's spices, with pepper and curry spices, as well as cardamom, all making an appearance. This whisky keeps improving in the glass and becomes truly magnificent after a few minutes.
While this whisky may not be technically perfect, its lovable character more than makes up for any minor flaws. It is a true testament to the art of whisky-making and a shining example of the magic that can be created when time, patience, and skill come together in perfect harmony.
It is worth noting that comparing this whisky to modern, mass-produced varieties will only serve to highlight the vast differences between them. This is a whisky that deserves to be savored and appreciated for its unique qualities and rarity.
