Miltonduff 10yo 40% OB
Of my Miltonduff tastings so far I think I've been mostly impressed by the Mosstowie, a whisky produced at Miltonduff in Lomond Stills back in the days. Smells of black peppers and air, one of the easiest odors I've sampled for a long time. The taste is sweet, vanilla, peppery, honey, orange peel and herbal tea. It's a fresh, pleasant, smooth single malt. Like a very nice blend at first, then ending with a peppery finish, bringing the whole experience up a notch or two. An all in all very pleasant whisky to drink, but beware, it's easily drinkable.
A good everyday dram: 6
Miltonduff 37yo 1971-2008 40% Duncan Taylor "Lonach"
Another oldie today, but this one is either diluted or from a seriously different cask, hence the 25%+ difference from the Inchgower. It smells sweet, mild, sophisticated, flipper soles, cinnamon, paperdust and orange zest. The taste is very very light, I'm tempted to guess it's dilluted. There are some winegum, apples and choriander there, quite flawless, but then again, a bit too nice to really adore. I'd say if it were a 10+ something Standard it'd be a really good whisky, but at this age and price it falls a bit behind unfortunately.
Nice and gentle malt: 6
Miltonduff 36yo 1967-2004 40.1% Duncan Taylor
This 36-year has an undeniable cask influence, both in smell and taste. Woody, semi-smoky, sugar and coffee. It lingers on the tounge, followed by an intense taste of white pepper, medicinical aftertaste, not for the faint hearted.
A well developed malt: 6.5
Mosstowie 12yo 1970-1982 40% CC G&M
Mosstowie is a version of Miltonduff that was produced on Lomond stills, up until 1981, not too many casks left. Has a strong wood-influenced taste, best combined with some drops of water. A bit of honey and cream is revealed initially, it finishes woody once more.
Can measure up to most modern whiskies: 6
