I bought a bottle of this at Charles De Gaulle airport whilst transiting back in Jan 2011. I have had the set of 3's (30/18/12 year) from Dyce, ABZ and this Double Cask 20 year old do not even come close to the 18 year let alone the 30 year old.
I have read some other reviews on this and could not disagree more on the notes. Disappointed? Certainly but I go search for that elusive 30 year old again that seem so hard to get these days!
