Mars Malt Gallery Single Cask 1991 18YO American White Oak #1110 58% abv
Nose: Quite light. Honey, creme brulee, strawberries, sugared apples, fresh oak, ginger, toasted muesli, pine needles. A little water brings out toffee, vanilla and a floral note.
Palate: Toasted oak, honey toasted muesli, strawberries, pancakes, a little resinous. With water some vanilla.

Comments
After drinking it, I had a mouth full of water and moved on to the 1988 one which I really disliked after that.
Then later tasting the 88 again after giving it some rest made me re-consider.
This trip netted me 7 new Mars whiskies of which I only found their Amber blend to be mediocre and one left to taste.
The rest I loved.
I got:
