Tasting Notes

453 posts

Whisky tasting notes, all are my personal tasting notes based the standard way of tasting whisky; nose, taste, finish. I also take into account the price / value ratio in these of whisky tastings notes. Every week new whisky tasting notes available, but don’t expect me to come up with new words to identify a smell or taste. I might be creative but no poet.

Brora Distillery has six washbacks, all made from Oregon pine. Fermentation time: 115 hours.
This weekend we finally have a tasting with the family again; it's been over a year already. The concept is simple: everyone pays a certain amount, and I get to choose the bottles. Every time, it's held at a different family member's house, and that person also provides some food or snacks. Always fun, and I look forward to it. It's been way too long since I've seen most of them! 😊⁠
Today is a rather gloomy day. It's been raining all day, so I fancied a peated sherry bomb. And this Bowmore is just that. Bottled for Feis Ile 2020, but not sold until 2021. It has been aged in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry cask for 18 years.⁠
Something old and rare on the menu today. Namely a 36-year-old Glenury Royal. Perhaps not the most well-known name, but that's not surprising since the distillery has been closed since the mid-1980s. Besides that, only a few single malts have been released.⁠

The Springbank Society bottlings are currently the only bottles I still order in the UK. The whole hassle with the Brexit rules doesn’t sit well with me, and I think many Europeans would agree. Since the UK left the EU, things have changed about shipping: VAT is charged later, which isn’t a big deal, but the extra costs for import duties can be pretty high.⁠
This Glen Elgin 2008 comes from a series of Elixir Distillers I have reviewed before, namely the Reserve Cask Series, a range released under the Single Malts of Scotland label.⁠
The Loch Lomond Group recently launched a Littlemill 45 year old, the oldest single malt ever released from the Lowland distillery.⁠
