Coleburn 26yo 1983-2009 49.5%
This is from The Fossile Seires, by The Whisky Agency. I don't care too much about that, but what I know is that it's bourbon matured, and that's probably the reason it's hit below 50% before 30yo. It's so strong it's hard to get much else than phenol and wood on the nose, some lacquer maybe. The first tasting says it realy needs water, again there's only phenol and wood. With a splash of the good old H2O, the nose opens up and there's marcipan and stilton, odd but nice combination. Still the taste is a bit off, and it's just too old fashioned for me, a bit orange skin, and plenty bitterness there is.
No no no, it's all going wrong on this one: 2.5
Coleburn 30yo 1972-2002 40% CC G&M
Coleburn reminds me of, not surprisingly, burnt wood. The distillery were put down in the nineties, The taste is very burnt and somewhat phenolic, almost acid-like. Unusual for a speysider, lotas of coal, not much taste.
after all, it's got some old school nuances: 3
