This one time at Distiller Summer Camp...
I know a guy who knows a guy who robbed some of the people @Distiller. So I got to try all 3 versions of this ridiculously limited release. I thought the claim of every good smell you can think of is in there was just marketing BS, but WOW!
The PX Finished version has a cornucopia of delicious fruits, creamy vanilla, toffee and some others I’ve never had in a scotch. Pizza, Grandma’s meatballs, axle grease, thunderstorms, a wood shop and fresh wet cement.
The red wine finish is full of red wine, but also white wine, rice wine, dandelion wine, red wine vinegar and every other wine you can think of. The biggest surprise was the Old Spice and Hawaiian dinner rolls and solid gold bars. Wow this is good.
The port finished version may be the best one. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, boysenberries, cranberries, and every other berry you can think of. Jelly beans, cheddar cheese bagels, breakfast sausages, rough granite stones and smoldering cherrywood.
The taste of each was such an experience that I think I saw Robert Burns descend from Ben Nevis riding a majestic translucent steed. When I again regained lucidity I declared to my wife and the EMS tech who thought I was having an epileptic seizure that these three were the greatest scotches to ever reach the lips of man.
I do declare that nothing again shall ever smell as wondrous or taste as otherworldly as these three single malts...unless they release a 48 year version at 48%. I may just ruin my underwear if that day ever comes.
