Whisky Tasting Record - August/2011

Yamazaki, 1984, Mizunara & Sherry Cask, 48%.
Ripened fruits (plums and apricot) with a touch of cinnamon. Deep and fairly matured with a balance of sweetness and sourness but a bit heavy on tannin (Good).

Malty, syrupy and vanilla; like chewing a muesli bar. Standard before dinner drink (Good).

Outstanding aromas with clean, confortable grassy freshness and a hint of floral note. Fairly sweet on the palate along with melon and banana flavours (Recommended).

Blackadder, (Royal Lochnagar), 27 Y.O., 1981/2008, Cask #53, 57.4%.
Has the soul of classic highland malt and the smell of barley malt. In accompany was almond syrup, mix citrus fruits and hint of spices (Good).

Very distinctive floral notes including Scotland’s indigenous heather flower. Structure is beautiful with honey dew and a touch of sour cherry. Floral tone dominated throughout the tasting with some lemon cheese cake at the end (Recommended).

Typical Laphroaig with extra smoky leather, medicinal and burnt flower. A bit of soapiness at the very end, fairly balanced and was not over powered by the peat (Good).

SMWS 29.91, (Laphroaig), 12 Y.O., 1998/2011, 63.8%.
Very heavy burnt hair cream and polish oil, felt like walking into a barber shop. Backed up back sherry wood and its tannin, dry but not rough (Good).

The Macphail’s Collection, (Glenrothes), 39 Y.O., 1969/2008, 43%.
Sweet caramel and dry berry fruits mixing with citrus fruits, embraced by oak woodiness. Focused with fairy long aftertaste (Recommended).
