Words of Whisky (90)

:

Nose: Slightly lactic but mostly farmyardy with some fruity and mineral touches. Notes of bung cloth, compost, lemon and hay. A whisper of roasted almonds, pears and coastal notes too. Any smoke has receded very much into the background. Just a touch of rubber in the end.
Taste: Hints of charcoal and minerals with sweet fruits like peach and apricots, but also lychees. It certainly shows a higher level of complexity than the excellent Kilkerran 12 Years. Touches of earthy peat and a nice salinity as well. Somewhat spicy.
Finish: Earthy peat, oranges and a gentle pepperiness. Long.

Score: 90

Sure, I’ll go there. This qualifies as a 90 pointer in my book. With a high-level balance and excellent complexity, this has to be the conclusion. I have many bottles of the 12-year-old stashed away, so I didn’t care to participate in the frenzy to get my hands on its older brother. But maybe I should’ve.
