Been out of pocket the past two weeks: business to Houston, graduation parties, birthday parties, etc. has just sapped my time/review time. Sneaking in a moment while with the family so I can finally drink something more than beer or everyday party whiskey. Enter Glenturret 11 provided by @Telex for the sixth round for our tasting group. Sliced Granny Smith apples drizzled with vanilla and honey begins the nose. Some dampened hay/straw and an earthy mineral quality comes through as it opens producing and odd synthetic funk. If you really dig in, you can draw out a tropical shaved coconut and macadamia nuts. The arrival is soft and oily, dense. Sweet and spicy. The sweetness of caramel, vanilla and a touch of honey. A spiciness of ground cinnamon and white pepper. Some mixed nuts weave through the palate The palate is left a bit tingly from the spicy palate with some oak dryness that lasts a fair length of time. This was rather average. It’s a dram that’s good to kick back and easily sip, but it’s not one I would readily seek out. Not flashy or sophisticated. The sweet and spicy quality could make this as a good cigar paired sipper. Too bad I don’t have a cigar at this moment. [84/100][Tasted: 6/3/18]
