So looking threw my images.. I found two... Here is the Pinch bottle (worked over a bit), that I had in October. We had it heads up with a newer 15yo... Then to my surprise I found the Ambassador. I guess because this was the flask bottle I didn't recognize it. I don't know if yours has the 8yo deceleration on it as well. Also being a 'light' whisky it may have gotten lost in my mind. I had it right after a White&Mackay blend that was pretty powerful. So I would try this one at the beginning of the evening or all alone. Subtle palate. (note - different importer for this bottle as well, I think that yours maybe a bit older) Cheers, -

Those are some nice finds Todd. Taking them in turn, Pinch 12yo - Nice drinking scotch - good malt flavor with a touch of sweetness. Had it again in October against a recent bottling, I liked the older style a little better, touch more spice. I think that they used more malt in the blend than grain whisky back then. Note: being that these are 4/5 quart, and have the tax seal, they are Bottled before 1980... So for a 12yo you are talking about whisky from the 60s. Hudson's - I had this one years ago - I don't remember much about it. It was a good dram - but nothing really stood out about it. One of those Scotches that tasted like scotch. Note2: being before 1980 as well, these also use the old definition of Proof, so 86 proof - what we would call today 43%, was in the old days 50%. (proof = 7/4abv) Ambassador: - I know I have seen this label at a whisky gathering, but cannot remember trying - will have to check my pictures, and notes. "Lightest" - makes it sound like mostly lowland malts in the blend. Note3: It is interesting looking at old bottles that some of the Importers don't exist anymore - or at least in their current capacity. ah the Ballentines: Just a good drink, I like it better than current day releases. More Malt content in the Blend and higher ABV than today. I cannot see it in the picture, but I assume that this also has a tax seal as well. This one is fun to get a current bottle and have head to head. Matrin's - Have not seen - but Want..! Very rare to see a 20yo blend back in the day. Don't know the Cognac.. I would open and enjoy - and if you wish to share them around, would be most honored to sample.. Cheers, Mikey -
