Words of Whisky (90)

Nose: Earthy is what comes to mind at first, with touches of chalk and cigar box, but also faint notes of blackberries and cherry syrup, as well as a proper hit of lemon peel.
Taste: An enticingly sweet arrival with a great citrus follow-up, reminiscent of many of those fantastic 1996 Ben Nevis. Sweet orange zest, grapefruit, a touch of lime and tangerine. I’m a sucker for fruity drams like this one. The gentle peppery spiciness adds a welcome extra layer.
Finish: Lingering citrus fruits. Slightly chalky again. Long.

Score: 90

The first 90-pointer of the Blind Tasting Competition, this is totally delicious. An absolutely quality dram with lots to offer. I’d like some more of this Dailuaine 1998 15 Years, but my sample is gone.
