Bottlings
May 24, 2011
A rich and well-rounded malt that doesn’t show its age. It is easy to drink but still pretty complex. The nose is splendid, but the palate can’t quite keep up. – Rating: 83/100
August 2, 2010
Rather similar to the 25 year TheWhiskyCask bottling, but it has given a bit too much alcohol to the angels. But this is still a quite enjoyable dram. – Rating: 82/100
August 1, 2010
Very fruity but also with a nice amount of aromatic spices. This is an excellent dram full of flavours, and it’s the perfect compainon for relaxing on a mild summer evening. – Rating: 87/100
April 10, 2010
The malt has a great nose and a quite a complex palate but could use a little more impact. – Score: 81/100
