Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw. First nosing: very sweet and spirity. Then lots of peardrops and banana, with hints of smoke. Gets grainy and woody
restaurant Palate
quite nicely balanced at first, then a lot of bubblegum. Very little peat if any. Quite grassy, with some bitter notes arising. Gets too woody, and it_s no nice wood. A little vulgar
timer Finish
Medium, on both bubblegum and bitter/peppery notes. Quite weird, if you ask me. Our ratings: OH: 73 points, SV: 74 points . My guesses: 1: Arran, 2: Tobermory, 3: Clynelish (but not a good one). Comments by Olivier: Agreed, it tastes too sweet for me. And it isn’t a nice natural sweet character from old age. Looks like a very young whisky, made to taste older. Arran is a good guess, Bowmore. Answer by Johannes: The horrible truth about Blind #19: Clynelish 11 yo 1989/2000 (43%, McGibbons Summer/Autumn) . I completely agree it’s a crappy Clynelish – I gave it 55 points. Blind #20
