Meaty, smoky, slightly sweet
An elegant mix of meaty smokiness & fruity sweetness
Deeply iodine, salty, seaweed, unmistakably Laphroaig
Smoke, peaty, earthy, mineral, ash, candied fruits
Long, sweet fruits finish
Review 068
If it's true then this is an amazingly affordable single cask Laguvulin but I think it is probably not
A fruity explosion, oily, definitely needs some water
A balanced mix of fruity & smoky body, bonfire smoke
Ashy & dry, medium finish; gets a bit bitter & oaky
A good affordable 1990s single cask sherried Springbank
Prunes & apricots, sour mangos, sweet tropical fruits
Sweet with a hint of sea saltiness, runs a bit hot, slightly peppery, subtle peatiness
Medium dry & sweet finish
Not everyday you find a Glenugie, bottled in a beautiful Signatory decanter and an extremely reasonable price for a 1970s vintage at ~400$; some might think that this is a bit over-sherried
Loads of sherry, very nice fruity nose
Very sweet, honey, slightly minty/menthol
Slightly bitter (but still sweet) finish, as expected from the sherry finish
This is simply one of those whiskies where you have to take your time to fully comprehend and unpack the complexity and what makes it so sought-after and highly praised. Really makes me wonder how good the Broras from the early 70s with a higher level of peat must be to be judged as even better than bottles like these from the lates 70s. This is a whisky that will please any whisky drinker and will impress most, if not all.
The nose is just a heavenly mix of peat and sweet tropical fruits, honey, sea saltiness, a hint of ash & tar, quite possibly the best nose I’ve ever experienced from a bottle of whisky
Rich honey, mineral, salty, smoked fish With water - sweet green apples, slightly creamy & hint of vanilla, a bit oily
Waxy, extremely long finish & surprisingly fresh & fruity
Sweet fresh fruits, slightly spicy, honeydew
Tropical fruits, very sweet & slightly hot, some mineral and waxy notes, a bit oily
Medium finish, still hot & fruity
