Tasted after: first up
Appearance (no score):
• Medium gold color
• Swirling reveals a thin line sticking to the side of the glass, legs are slow to form
Nose: 16/20
• Apples, honey, buttered bread, and vanilla
Palate: 41/50
• Black pepper hits hard up front on the first sip, a little less on the second, by the the third it’s creamier and I’m tasting vanilla, figs, clove spice, and dark chocolate
Finish: 24/30
• Nice long finish, a bit of an ethanol burn kicks things off, gets a bit sweeter and crisper with peaches and pears, which slowly fades away to some salty ending
Total: 81/100
• Scoring rubric
80-84: Quite good, very enjoyable to drink, but doesn’t wow me, still it may make regular appearances in my collection. 4.25 stars.
Final thoughts:
• Purchased to expand my understanding of Bladnoch expressions, not especially remarkable but a great value and good buy all the same
• A drop of water adds some chili pepper spiciness to the finish
Price: $50
Would recommend: yes
Would buy: yes
