After all the hype surrounding the whisky advocate decided to get a bottle!
Nose - fresh and light. I get tropical fruits and sea salt. Pineapple and green apples. Spicyness, but very easy on the nose!
Tongue - right of the bat it is very rich, it is not super sweet, rather mild sweetness. But it is oily! Coats the mouth well! Fruity and salty! Tons of clove and i get mild honey notes! It makes me want to own a boat and take it out on the waters as I pour a dram enjoying the waters!
Wish the finish was longer! But an excellent dram!
Glenglassaugh Sandend just won Whisky Advocate's Whisky of the Year by reproducing Bruichladdich's formula for the Classic Laddie and charging us all $10 more for it. In some places $20. Buy the Classic Laddie instead. Don't believe the hype
The nose is a little sprity, but is full of bright fruit. Apricot, tangerine, green apple, tropical fruit, then some nice maltiness. Reminds me of Irish whiskey a good bit, in particular Knappogue Castle, of which I've had both the 14 year and the 12 year Marchesi finish. The palate has all the fruit, but adds in some creamy vanilla ice cream and then slight spice toward the finish. As with the Knappogue Irish whiskies, I really enjoy this as well, and I'd give it a similar score as I gave those, 3.5-3.75. The flavors pop a little more in this, but also feels a bit younger and slightly less refined than the Knappogues.
