G80. Decanted 10 hrs. Colour as for α alpha(70% opacity, brick red). Nose a bit stincky, sulphurous, and for a slight moment behind the sulphur was popcorn! Really did not taste good, so gave up on that. Rogue bottle.

All six bottles of Graham 1980 from this late release case were of a consistent colour. Brick red throughout and around 70% opaque.

Bottle gamma: Smelly and offensive nose, full of rubber bands and mercaptan. Stayed smelly with time in the glass. Good thick texture but the flavours are astringent and dry, spoiled by the sulphur. Dry and unpleasant. Not rated as to do so would be unfair. NR. Decanted 10 hours.
