2017-12-08 A. D. Rattray Fettercairn 11 yo Single Malt
Nose: Apple, the 54% abv gives it an alcohol bite, a touch of pepper, green grass, almost a touch of mint
Colour: Very clear, medium gold
Palate: Sweet apple, pear,
A tbsp of water
Nose: backs of the alcohol, apple, a touch of flowers, a hint of woody smoke
Palate: Apple, A bit of oak on the finish,
This whisky is just fine. But - frankly - it does not impress me. I just get mostly sweetish apple - nothing much complex about this. I will be happy to finish it - it is fairly tasty. But - my top 4 from yesterday remains unchanged:
- 2017-12-05 Secret Spirits Caol Ila 8yo Single Malt
- 2017-12-06 Samaroli Glenallachie 8yo Single Malt
- 2017-12-07 Ainneamh The Malt 12 yo Blended Malt
- 2017-12-04 The Lost Distillery Dalaruan Classic Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
As I continue sipping while I write this review, my impression of the whisky continues to improve. It has a very nice finish and I start to pick up some complex caramels. Very nice.
