Wemyss Velvet Fig 25 Year Old
Blended Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed February 3, 2021 (edited March 6, 2021)This is an absolute treat, it has some 33 and 25 Year old casked whisky which has been blended together and then left to macerate a little longer in Sherry butts. I don’t normally go for blends but this just popped out at me and I knew I had to have a bottle. It is fairly expensive for a blend but consider the age it feels like a bargain. I was not disappointed this is something special and am totally smitten. I think this will become hard to get quite quickly. Nose: Dried fruit soaked in sherry, red liquorice, cinnamon sticks and a hint of cherry brandy. Palate: Dark chocolate mousse, more raisins, cigar box, treacle tart and more festive spices. Finish: Jammy sultana, dates, chocolate cake, walnut and caramel. -
Bruichladdich Black Art 1990 06.1 Edition 26 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed January 9, 2021 (edited February 6, 2023)I totally adore this..... pinning it down to a flavour profile is hard as it changes every time you try it, so at some point your going to get the following: On the Nose, Peaches in syrup; strawberries; vanilla; gingerbread; almonds; dark chocolate; coconut. In the mouth I get apples; icing sugar; mangoes; earthy spice; sea salt; walnuts; hazelnuts; sherry sweetness There is really nice creamy finish; Coconuts; sea spray; dark chocolate; tropical fruits which is reasonably long. Great Whisky
