Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
close to the 1989, just oakier and grassier, maybe a little wilder and farmier as well. Hay, sawdust (nothing wrong here),... Also more bananas like in some older uber-fruity versions of Balblair. And more vanilla, but that’s the oak I guess. Maybe a little less directly likeable on the nose as the 1989
restaurant Palate
now it’s this one that I like best. Fruitier (hints of mangos, guavas), much stronger, maybe more marked by the wood (gets very peppery) but also sort of franker. ‘Good stuff’ as a friend and connoisseur would say, despite its relative roughness (the whisky’s, not my friend’s)
timer Finish
very long, quite hot in fact, still a bit raw but again, so natural. I hope the industry will always make this kind of whisky. 86 points. Balblair 1985 (55.4%, OB, 2007) I’ve heard this new cask strength version is about to be launched in November
