Poured out a lovely gold dram earlier, honestly it's rather young so oak’s much more pronounced right off the bat. 🥃 You get that mineral twang straight away, plus wee touches of mint on the back end that leaves a bit of a mentholated aftertaste. There's a grassy hint too, and that nice, familiar feeling of walnut skin you get sometimes. It's less aromatic globally, nowhere near as vanilla-ed or bourbony as some, even has a strong tea whiff to it. The easiness of the 1972 does it quite some harm mind, it's definitely not one of my absolute favourites, but still very good, quite like it overall really.

Not really my sort of dram, if I'm honest. It's got this grassy kick upfront that's a bit sharp, and a mineral edge that makes me think of a strong tea left out too long. The mentholated aftertaste is unusual – almost like licking a walnut shell, which is a strange sensation. There's more mint than I'd expect, and the gold hue is nice, but the oak's a bit shouty for my taste. Less of that vanilla or bourbon sweetness, so it feels a tad unbalanced. Still very good, mind you, but probably not one of my favourites. More of a sipper than a noser, I reckon. 🥃

说实话，这杯感觉挺年轻的，有股子青草味，整体香气没那么浓郁。 喝起来嘛，更少香草那种甜，倒是有种核桃皮似的干涩感。带点矿物质的感觉，还有淡淡的薄荷味。 余韵里有股樟脑似的清凉，挺特别的。我猜是酒体本身比较轻盈？ 嗯……1972年的那种轻松感，反而有点伤到它了，让它显得没那么平衡。 不过也没什么毛病，当成一杯清冽的茶来喝也不错🍵

This one's got quite a pronounced oakiness to it 🤔 Still very good, mind you. Grassy notes and a hint of walnut skin. Not really a nosing grain for me, I reckon. The mentholated aftertaste is interesting, but probably not one of my favourites overall.

这杯是金黄色的，闻起来 strong tea 的感觉挺明显，橡木味比平时喝的突出很多。尝起来 lighter，少了些香草和波本的甜腻，但有点 becoming a little unbalanced。 后段 mentholated aftertaste 出来了，带点 wee touches of mint 和 mineral 的凉感。整体 still very good，不过 probably not a nosing grain，更偏向喝着玩的类型。 结尾有 walnut skin 的涩感，更多 mint 的清凉，grassy 的气息也不少。less aromatic globally，rather young 的酒体，no flaws 但 probably not one of my favourites。 还是 quite like it 的 😊
