Bladnoch Vinaya

In Feb 22- was good no smoky

Not a strong nose. Not especially distinct. A bit bland. Nothing offensive. A little vanilla in the finish.

4.0 너무 부드럽게 들어가서 놀라웠다 생강, 계피이 확실하고 버번, 쉐리가 꽤나 조화롭게 융합된 꿀물 같은 맛 아란10이 얼핏 떠올랐는데 스파이시한 개성은 있으면서도 케스크 느낌과 적당한 산미가 기분 좋게 다가온다

An absolutely surprising, complex whisky from this lowland distillery. This whisky gave me an unexpected experience and i even tasted it next to the new Dalmore 12 Sherry Cask Select, and this one was actually better. Bottled at 46.7%abv, burnished gold color. On the nose, this has a lot of very clean aroma notes. Chocolate, butter, vanilla, banana, coconut and piña colada cocktail. Banana split ice cream, toffee, lovely aroma. Rum and raisins ice cream. After a first sip, the aroma changed into coffee with milk, pancakes, banana smoothie, soap and oat. It is very lactic / milky. On the palate, it starts with a pleasant pepper bomb, chilli, red fruits and clove. There are prunes and spices everywhere. Aftertaste is very long and well delivered. Red chilli, sulphuric notes. It is creamy and greasy. Salty pickles. Very pleasant but spicy. Overall, i find this dram super complex and even if has the normal chocolate profile you expect from a lowland whisky, this single malt manages to explore a lot of good spices and some fruitiness. A wonderful experience, my score for it is 89/100.
