Review of Glenglassaugh Revival

Written by Miguel Angel Blanch in Tasting , Glenglassaugh
“Promising whisky from Glenglassaugh. Looking forward to see what a few years more can do on this one.”
The Glenglassaugh Distillery was mothballed from 1986 until 2008 and this the first whisky to be made from spirit distilled at the distillery since it reopened.

It was matured in a mixture of first and refill bourbon casks before a final 6 months finishing in first fill oloroso sherry butts.

It already shows the character that made this distillery so nice but in my opinion it needs yet a few years more on the cask.

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (81): more than average. floral, honey, meat stock, spices. A bit newmake-like for my taste... erm... my nose.

Taste (83): smooth. honey, nuts, floral wood, spices, cocoa. A bit young, it still needs to round itself.

Finish (83): longer than average. honey, floral, spices.

Score:
82

Dalmore Tay Dram Rivers Collection Tasting note

Written by Miguel Angel Blanch in Tasting , Dalmore
“Great Dalmore whisky that could have been mindblowing awesome have it been bottled at 46% instead of 40%.”
Produced by Dalmore with the object of raising up to £400k for a quartet of beautiful Scottish fishing rivers.

Like the rest of the Rivers Collection the Tay Dram has been produced from quality bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks and at least £4 per bottle sold will go to the Tay Foundation that protects and conserves the river.

If you enjoyed this awesome Dalmore single malt, you should try one of the Aberlour a'bunadh whiskies, for example, batch 35.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (91): more than average. honey, citrus, nuts, apples, vanilla, wood, spices. Really nice nose.

Taste (91): powerful, oily. honey, tobacco, spices, vanilla, pepper, wood, cocoa, cinnamon.

Finish (89): longer than average. honey, floral, citrus, spices.

Score:
90

Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 35 Tasting note

Written by Miguel Angel Blanch in Tasting , Aberlour
“Wonderful whisky!. This Aberlour is really a no-brainer buying option if you like sherried whiskies. Batches vary between them but they are all rather good.”
If you want intense, spicy Oloroso sherry, masses of character, and at natural cask strength, all for under £40, it has to be a'Bunadh. Batch 35 is a stinker!

Aberlour A'bunadh is a cask strength Speyside single malt whisky that is released by the distillery in small batches each with a slightly different profile but all on the sherry monsters style.

Really a must have and a whisky that is almost near to the almighty Macallan 10 years old Cask Strength.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (90): more than average. honey, nuts, citrus, floral, cocoa. Nice nose but it is slightly closed. A bit hard to nose it at 60% abv.

Taste (93): smooth, powerful, oily. honey, nuts, leather, citrus, spices, wood, raisins.

Finish (90): long. honey, nuts, citrus, spices, cinnamon.

Score:
91

Laphroaig Triple wood Tasting note

Written by Miguel Angel Blanch in Tasting , Laphroaig
“Nice Laphroaig whisky with one foot on the woody area. Interesting.”
The complex, peaty flavour of Laphroaig Triple Wood is the result of maturation in three different types of barrel: ex-Bourbon barrels, European oak casks (‘butts’) and traditional Quarter Casks.

Laphroaig Triple Wood is then bottled – without being chill-filtered – at 48% ABV.

You can think about it as a extra-aged Laphroaig Quarter Cask single malt whisky were sweetness has been replaced by a moderate woody profile. Interesting scotch.

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (90): more than average. peat, honey, citrus, iodine, sea, wood, spices. Very Laphroaig nose with a surprising notes of wood and spices.

Taste (90): powerful. peat, honey, wood, raisins, spices, iodine, coffee.

Finish (89): longer than average. peat, citrus, wood.

Score:
90
