The Year that Was
The UK celebrated Queen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee, Red Rum won a record third Grand National, and the world was introduced to ‘Star Wars’ – the first film in George Lucas’ epic space trilogy. NASA successfully launched the space shuttle ‘Enterprise’ and the whole world mourned the death of Elvis Presley. Off the coast of Scotland, the very first wave-powered electricity generator goes
into operation.

The Experience

Dryness from the peat and sweetness from the toasted oak afford the long finish.
