rottendon scored this whisky 78 points 
After I heard that it was even used Moscatel casks they got from Caol Ila I think even more that the price is a no-go. They talked quite frankly about it, it's sort of a trash reduction if you will, the task was to find a way to re-use the old casks the Classic Malt Distilleries used for making their Distillers' Editions. As I said before, I like the idea of that experiment, but please don't fool us, it is not an extraordinary super sophisticated special vatting, it's just basic 16-year-old having been put in casks which would otherwise have been trashed.
As for my rating, I'd love to put a review here, using the weighted rate function, unfortunately being mobile this doesn't work. So it's low 80s for the nose, a little above 90 for the initial taste, again low 80s for Body and Finish. 85 for the presentation and 50 for the price. In my mind that adds up to a 78.
Just thought about it, I can be quite frank, too. You take the stuff which has a street price of about 40,-€ to 50,-€, put it in the rubbish of a neighboring distillery and sell it to the enthusiasts at the festival for almost four times the price!
And then you hear sentences like "it doesn't matter, we're gonna sell the stuff anyway." yeah right, you probably are...
