In this case, NAS cheekily means Notable Age Statements... and it is no exaggeration in this case. This whisky is composed of Signatory cask samples, and bottling run ends (partial bottles), married into a fresh sherry seasoned cask already at least 16 years of age. The whisky is now at least 30 years old, with much of the liquid considerably older. Some it is from closed distilleries, and some of it is from the 1960s! 91pts Whisky Fun & 90.47pts Whiskybase

"NAS stands for Notable Age Statement, while the Malt Maniacs, many moons ago, would have started using that acronym that the whole industry just adores rather for 'No Age Statement', which we keep doing at Whiskyfun. Good, what we know is that this old blended malt does shelter many cask ends from Signatory Vintage's, some pretty older than just 30. Colour: deep gold. Nose: good one, not only does the whisky here nose old, it does also feel 'old-school', as if they had rebottled old bottles, if you see what I mean. I'm dead sure that's not what they've done, but you do find old waxes and oils, polishes, old silverware and old tools, marrow and suet, old wines, old woods, old embrocations, balms, old wardrobe in an old attic… And all that. Mouth: you would really believe this is an old bottle, really. Such as one of those early dumpies by CAD… Something metallic, some saltiness, ointments, cookies from an old tin box, old wines, raisins, old books and dusts, old tobacco… This play with age and time is really something. There's even old triple-sec in the background. Finish: not that long but sooty, with resins and raisins, more older wines… Only the aftertaste has got a little 'too much' cardboard, but we're splitting hairs. Comments: couldn't some old malt that you would further keep in demijohns for quite a few decades share this kind of profile? Let's make things clear, I love this one, it is a very smart bottling, a new bottle for people who like old bottles, how smart is that indeed? Like a Morgan car. Now, please Mr Decadent Drinks, reproduce this profile… SGP:552 - 91 points."
