---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mekong | Grain/ Thailand | 4 | 0 | 0? | 30 | A mild taste of disinfectant (quite awful really) but the finish is fairly close to whisky | |||||
Saturnus Premium Blend | 5 | 1 | 0 | 35 | Very sweet with notes of grapes and candy; strange, immature palate with off-notes but the finish is quite close to whisky | | |||||
Edradour (Sign) 51.2% | 1976 24 | Highland | 4 | 0 | 2 | 40 | Liquid soap? Car wash liquid? At any rate, there's no chance of mistaking it for a whisky (hmm, maybe I can use it as an after shave?) | ||||
Loch Dhu | 10 | Highland | 3 | 0 | 55 | Unusual, strange, very sweet, with a fairly intense finish | | ||||
Braeval (DL) 50% | 1981-Apr 17 | Speyside | 4 | 0 | 67 | At first a strange, rich fruitiness that develops into a nicer, lighter taste and a fairly nice finish | |||||
Glen Grant | 5 | Speyside | 7 | 0 | 0 | 68 | Slightly strange and offputting nose, but a nice, fruity taste and a surprisingly nice and balanced finish | | |||
Black Bruichladdich (JWWW) 47.5% | 1969 32 | Islay | 5 | 3 | 0 | 69 | Very dark, like a liquorice shot(!); a little salty with hints of peat and liquorice and a strange, metallic finish | ||||
Glen Grant (GM) | 15 | Speyside | 6 | 3 | 3 | 69 | Dry, complex, a little peaty and a little fruity but also some off-notes, I'm afraid | | |||
Glen Scotia (Sign) | 1991 9 | Campb. | 5 | 2 | 0 | 69 | Interesting nose with sawdust and hints of wood smoke and smoked fish; sweet palate with a note of capers | ||||
