| Review #551 |
This is
single cask no. 75 from Maltbarn. It is from an ex-Bourbon cask and only 154
bottles were made. Sweet grass and hay is the first that hits my nose. Some oak
and vanilla as well. Vanilla, like when you are baking a cake.
Again, I
get grass, and especially hay, in the taste. This time a hint of citrus in the
background is present. Vanilla, honey and slightly burned caramel comes forward
in the finish, but very light. The oak really compliment the notes of grass and
hay.
This is
rough Highland dram, and exactly how I imagine it would have tasted like back
in the days. If they had matured their whisky for 29 years that is! However, I
wouldn’t have guessed this to be almost 30 years old though – more around 20...
I will give this 85/100 (21/21/21/22).
