  1. lincolnimp scored this whisky 84 points Connoisseur

    The nose is lovely but the palate does not even get close to the nose, it does not matter what the sum of parts are if there is a flaw and this is too woody and bitter at this price, shame.
    I think there is a fair bit of Glenkinchie in this, pretty sure it is higher proportion than the others, the ginger spicy aspect of the profile gives it away.
    • Nose

      The first thing to say is that this is a nice nose, plenty going on, stewed forest fruits, various woods, a little peat, honeycomb, hints of vanilla, roasted coffee. ginger biscuits.
    • Taste
      83 83
      Now that is spicy, very lively indeed with the peat mixing with the sherry and spice really well, but there is a definite bitter woodiness which for me really spoils this but lets see if it settles down with a little air.
      The second mouthful is sweeter but even more spicy with a real ginger kick, it is a little drying, a little woody but not as much as before but still a woody after taste.
      Parts of the profile are really good but the woody bitterness ruins this for me
    • Finish

      quite long, spicy and bitter
