[November, 2016] Big, big disappointment!!! There is not much difference to the younger standard bottlings that justify such an extraordinary price. In fact, I like the standard 10 year old much better.
Yes, this one is a little bit softer and more balanced then the TEN but at the same time there are these immature off-notes I know from the STILL YOUNG and ALMOST THERE bottlings that I simply do not like. No way this tastes like a 21 year old - in a blind tasting I would guess not more than 15 years max. (rather less).
But the biggest disappointment is that all these additional years of maturation have not added any single new or changed flavour compared to the younger standard bottlings. So why the hell should one spend so much money on a rather tired, flat and uninspiring whisky? And beware all you whisky investors, too: You will certainly loose money on this one if you do not sell it quickly before the bubble bursts - bad news spread much, much faster than good ones....
