| Review #168 |
This 14
year old is made from 60 % European oak and 40 % bourbon casks. It is very
mellow in the smell. You get the classic Arran salt and light citrus alongside
some dried fruits and pastry sweetness.
The taste
is a light form dried fruits and a very good balance with the wood, which is
more toasted than burned. It is a bit rough in the start, but after a couple of
minutes in the glass it gets more calm. The finish stays for quite a while with
a fat fruity sweetness.
This is a
whisky that just keeps getting better and better, and I was happily surprised
because the smell doesn’t sell this whisky very good. I will give this 87/100
(21/21/23/22).
