This was my birthday present from my girl this year, and it was actually suggested by a danish store-owner who told her he knew exactly what I liked... Considering I'd only visited his store twice, that seems to take a real malt drinkers opinion to throw something like that at you. But as you see, given my birthday was 4th of october, me and my friends have enjoyed quite some of this.
Glen Ord 12yo 1998-2010 57.8% Signatory Vintage cask#3474 btl.182/261
From a bourbon hogshead. The color is deep golden. It smells of spices, oaky, sweet, tea, ginger, lemon, lime, sort of this lemony spirit. The taste is of strong cinnamon, grapefruit, lemon, powerful, a bit of water is needed I believe. But if you like a bit of sour and bitter in your whisky, its not needed. Water makes it go very cloudy. It now tastes of sweet starch, bitter leaves, herbal bitters, rice wine vinegar. This is very hardcore, I once had a 64.1% Laphroaig right after this, and I couldn't even feel the Laphroaig on my tongue. If you like a whisky with guts and stamina, please try this one.
Strong: 7
Next tasting: Grain Galore (Damn you inconsistency!)
