| Review #528 |
From
Douglas Laing comes this refill hogshead with the cask number DL11483. Only 333
bottles were made. Fresh green apples and marzipan sweetness in the smell. A
little bit different from the normal marzipan sweetness you get from ex-Bourbon
matured whiskies.
Things
changes dramatically in the taste! Loads of herbs! Almost Gin-like. The finish
gets it a bit back on track though, with vanilla sweetness and fresh white
fruits. Actually very smooth finish, and the first place where the age really
shows.
I am not
sure I would have guessed this as a whisky looking at the taste alone. The
smell and finish helps a bit, but doesn’t change the fact that it was a bit too
weird for my palate to end up with a high score. Maybe personal preference to
some extent, but I’ve had better from Speyside Distillery… I will give this 78/100
(21/18/20/19).
