Can't remember the tasting notes for this one as it's been about a year since I polished off the 1st bottle, but I do remember that is was very good.
Also

13yr old
Distilled: 11/05/1990
Bottled: 24/03/2004
Matured in a Sherry Butt
46% Alc./Vol.
Color: Deep Gold
Nose: Fruity and peaty, faint smoke
Palate: Vanilla and malty with some light sherry and peat.
Finish: Semi-long and drying with light bits sherry, peat, and smoke.
