Girvan 1979 36 Year Old The Sovereign (Hunter Laing)

A limited release of 322 bottles from Cask #12276. As it was bottled in 2016, it's not surprising some remain available because it's not very good. It's certainly not worth $180USD; in fact, I'd pay nothing for it. Adding a lot of water mellowed it, but then only mild vanilla and ethanol appeared. 2.75

A raw mix of soil, air, and a hint of heat at the end.
