Duncan Taylor "Rarest of the Rare" Glencraig (distilled at Glenburgie), Cask #2926, 30 year old, 1974 vintage, 42.0%, $245
Soothing vanilla cream, with additional notes of spice cake, coconut marshmallow, tiramisu, fresh cut grass, and a hint of evergreen. A true "comfort" whisky. Just don’t add any water, because it will fall flat. This whisky is great just the way it is.

Signatory "Glencraig" (distilled at Glenburgie), 30 year old, 1975 vintage, Cask # 7938, 54.4%, $200
This Glencraig, along with Mosstowie (reviewed below), were experimentations with "Lomond" stills, where the top of the stills were replaced with a rectifying column, allowing several different styles of whiskies to be produced at the same distillery. The Lomond stills were eventually removed. This is a very creamy malt, with an oily texture. Notes of bananas and cream, ripe barley, caramel, graham cracker, and orange creamsicle. Dry, spicy finish. The fruity zing in this whisky shows that it still has some life in it. A dessert whisky indeed.
