Strathmill 16yo 1993-2009 50% Old Malt Cask Douglas Laing *Advance Sample cask#5200
A pale Strathmill from a refill hogshead, one of these distilleries that's even harder to find than many of the closed ones. It smells sort of spirity and vulgar, stripclub vodka? The taste is better, kind of burnt, bitter, matches, slightly sulphury, fino refill? Actually not bad at all, I do prefer this strange weird sweet burnt flavor to many ultradry versions of fino casks. The aftertaste is peppery and bitter sour, like lime and chili. Another good whisky from a whisky I didn't expect too much from.
If you get a chance to try a single cask Strathmill, make sure you do: 6.5
Strathmill 10yo 43% Signatory Scottish Wildlife
This is actually my first time ever trying a strathmill, this one is from the scottish wildlife series, an alternative to the flora and fauna by diageo? It has a squirrel on the label. On the nose I'm getting wheat, pine, clover, ashes and gingerbread, very nice. The taste is sweet, honey, gingerbread, oak, cinnamon and spice tart. The aftertaste is a killer, lots of pepper and smoke, not advanced in any way but very charming.
A good old-style malt for any occasion: 6.5
