Comments: One reviewer noted that: 105 does not have a declared age or vintage as it is a
blend of casks of different ages. They use young casks to supply the power and older ones to fill
in the richness and complexity. I don’t know what they used to make 105 but it packs a wallop.
This is not a Scotch I would recommend to others too often. Too much heat and complexity for
my tasts. A couple drops of water did make it better.
