Back at my new local whisky bar to celebrate passing my Prince2 exam...wohoo! Usually I'm not a fan of trying whiskies in bars as you never know how long the bottle has been opened. However as the bar itself has only been opened 3 months most bottles should be optimal for tasting which so far has proved right. So enough of the preamble... what's the whisky like? I liked the 14 and nudged it up to a 4 once value was taken into account, this one...is good but nothing really excites me or stands out about it. I miss the more viscous smokiness of the 14. It's a 30% price premium to the 14 as well. The final nail in the scoring coffin was I tried Springbank 15 (similar price) immediately after which was really good so once i did the comparison this gets a 3.4 rounding down to a 3.
