Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This 2014 bottling doesn’t carry an official age statement, probably because it was bottled just weeks or a few months shy of 60 years old. At that point, let’s just call it a 60-year-old single malt from a distillery with a track record of producing single malts that age really, really well. The nose has notes of toffee, toasted caramel, a hint of brandy, and a slightly dry touch of oak tannins. The taste has touches of sherry from the first-fill ex-Sherry casks it was filled into in 1954, along with oak tannins, plums, raisin bread, toffee, a hint of anise, and soft spices in the background. The finish is very long with hints of Christmas cake, subtle spices, and a touch of oak. Wonderful! (December, 2018)
