Bottlings
February 4, 2013
The flavours of this malt are actually quite nice, but it is just too weakish and watery. – Rating: 73/100
February 29, 2012
A nice fruity dram that feels a bit younger than its real age, some water does not hurt it. – Rating: 83/100
January 21, 2012
This excellent malt does not really show its age. It is perfectly balanced with a rich taste and creamy mouthfeel. – Rating: 88/100
January 19, 2012
Containing malts from five decades this is a very fine fruity dram with an elegant driness. The nose is terrific, the palate is a little weaker. – Rating: 85/100
November 28, 2011
A very enjoyable old dram, the age shows in the finesse of its aromas and not so much in the wood influence. – Rating: 87/100
March 24, 2011
This malt is proof that all casks are different. It shares similarities with neighbouring cask #16352 but the flavour profile is notably more complex and richer overall. – Rating: 86/100
March 6, 2011
This is a rather fragile malt that needs time to develop. But even then it is not eager to show off a wealth of flavours, it wants you to hunt them down. Not a value dram at all. – Rating: 80/100
March 5, 2011
A rather straightforward bourbon cask whisky. It is not bad at all but you can get comparable malts for much less money. – Rating: 83/100
November 20, 2009
Quite smooth and very fruity. Nice but nothing sensational. There quite some whiskies of comparable profile ans quality that are ten years younger (and therefore cheaper). – Score: 84/100
