Comparing a single barrel pick from “Bowstreet Beverage” at 50.8 ABV to the traditional 10 year batch A/354 at 50 ABV. Tasted both neat back and forth with two separate glencairns. The traditional blend was better on all accounts, the nose was much more pronounced and more inviting despite very similar notes. The palate had a lot more to offer on the blend as well and the finish was much longer. Does make me question this particular store’s picks. Overall it was very good and I give it a 4 but the blend was worlds better at a 4.5.
