I had a pronounced sense of deja vu whilst enjoying the sample provided to me by @PBMichiganWolverine . There was an unshakeable familiarity, but why? The waxy, apply, rum-raisin nose made me wonder about Clynelish, but that wasn't it. The honey-forward, tree fruit studded palate seemed even more familiar than the nose. A glance in the direction of my collection made it all click - Oban. This tastes like a less sea-inflected, less well integrated younger sibling of Oban Distiller's Edition. The opportunity to enjoy something from a silent distillery is always worthwhile; it's a bit of a shame that the whisky itself comes across as less a revelation so much as a reminder of a frankly better working distillery. Just the same, this is a pleasant, easy-to-like drop of whisky...but not worthy anything close to the collector pricing it apparently goes for.
