Glenlivet 1968 37 Year (Duncan Taylor Lonach)

This was the peak of my best tasting experiences up to this point. On 11/7/16, my wife's birthday, we visited Charleston in Baltimore, MD - the finest dining establishment in Baltimore, and likely in all of Maryland. After enjoying a fantastic dinner, we decided to splurge on some pricey pours: highland park 25, followed by Duncan Taylor Lonach (43.1% ABV, distilled at Glenlivet in 1968, bottled in 2005), followed by Tesseron lot 53 (cognac). All of these cost $50+ for 1.5 oz pours. My wife preferred the HP 25, but I was most impressed by the Lonach. As there was just a small amount left in the bottle afterwards, and it being a birthday celebration, we were allowed to keep the bottle. So, I do have a bottle of 37-year-old whisky in my collection, but unfortunately, it's empty. I don't have tasting notes (I couldn't take notes on my wife's birthday), but I recall garden flowers on the nose. Naturally, it was incredibly smooth - I remember chuckling at the mouthfeel, as it didn't even seem like a liquid; it was akin to consuming vapors. Despite its age, there was hardly any oak. There were prominent floral notes, fresh apples, pears, peaches, apricot, and a subtle cinnamon spiciness in the background. The finish was long and full of vanilla. Sadly, I will likely never have the chance to try this again. The best whisky I've ever experienced? Hmm... I'm not going to rate the dram, as the ambiance, occasion, and level of intoxication likely influenced the experience somewhat.
