Community Tasting Note

  July 7, 2018 - The bottle was heavily ullaged but once it was decanted for 45 minutes, the dank nose started to settle down. The nose was super complex not surprising that it was a unique sensation given it was 52 years old. On the palate it was rich and velvety smooth. The aftertaste was long and persistent with an amalgam of tar, spice, blackberry and a hint of candy. I bought this in the late 60’s at an Earlwood hotel for less than $10. The 1971 will be opened next week. This was the last Grange I ever bought at the outrageous price of $11.87 from a liquor store in Jannali. The rewards of patience indeed!
