A litre bottle from the Portsmouth-Caen duty free ferry.
Official tasting notes described spiced apples and a rather haughty “untainted by peat smoke” notice.
This is quite a sweet dram, I get what they mean by apples and cinnamon, I get vanilla and a little dark, dried, sherried fruit.
A really enjoyable dram, one that I overlook, unfairly.
3/5.
A single-cask 8yo Glengoyne tonight, unusual because it’s matured in a port pipe.
Really sweet, dark chocolate, cherries, plums orange zest and cream. Delightful long sweet oaky finish.
A thoroughly enjoyable dessert and one of the few single cask drams I enjoy most when neat.
I first tried this at an SMWS tasing session a couple of years ago and the majority of attendees hated it apparently. I loved it and am on my 2nd bottle.
Great stuff, not quite as complex or perfectly balanced as the best (duty-free) 21yo Balvenie Portwood but then it’s a heck of a lot younger.
4/5.
