lavender notes in scotch and some reasons why

Dave Broom does a pretty good analysis of why certain scotches from a certain time frame have notes of lavender. Pretty instructive. Scroll down to E-pistle #16/01 - Lavender Lament

Very interesting BD!! Really shows how every thing we do from mashing right down to our distilling can affect the final product. Ya can really say it's all in the details. Also show that patience is indeed a virtue.
