This weekend I got hold of a Taylor's Crusted (bottled in 1974).
Did some searching on the internet, but couldn't find anything on it, other than a mention on the FTLOP saying a Taylor's Crusted was somewhat of a rarity.
Does anyone here have any experience with it?

A quick tasting note.
Very sweet, spirited, mature, ruby color. Faintly fresh at best. The sweetness is quite nice and not very Taylor tasting in general, but the spirit can be a lot for some.
I think this works well as a "poor man's vintage", but Dow may have the upper hand with Crusted.
A proper tasting will happen some time before the fall as I have a case of this.
The cork says Taylor Crusted bottled in 1978 too; quite cool looking.
