Review #442 |
This has
matured in a mixture of Bourbon and Sherry casks. Lot of malt and grass in the
smell. Very classic. It reminds me of a good old malt. A little by little some
other flavours appear. Oak, vanilla, orange peel and hints of honey.
Like in the
smell, the taste is a bit rough. In the good old way. Grass and hay mixed with
some oak and toffee. The finish is more caramel sweet, and actually stays for
quite a while considering the low ABV. I get a slight off note, but I can´t
quite put my finger on it.
I think it
is a fine dram, and haven’t it been for that off note it would have landed a
couple of point higher. Maybe it is just me, and you want detect it. It just
reminds me of an old honest dram made in the old glens. I will give this 82/100
(21/20/20/21).
