Previous Rhosdhu was a type of reasonably engaging names. It was low-cost, it was one of many only a few NAS single malts round (there was additionally a 5), and it was typically used for derisive comparisons, equivalent to ‘this Glen No matter is not too good, nevertheless it’s not as dangerous as Previous Rhosdhu’, alternately with Loch Dhu or brother Loch Lomond. Issues began to alter when Murray McDavid issued an outstanding outdated one, after house owners Glen Katrine had launched one other very outdated one, a 1967 that hadn’t been dangerous both. Previous Rhosdhu was stated to attract its ueber-fruitiness from the truth that the distillers have been reducing part of the primary run earlier than it will get into the spirit nonetheless, however not too certain that is true because it sounds fairly anti-economic.

Previous Rhosdhu 30 yo 1990/2020 (48.9%, Les Grands Alambics, hogshead) 
So a variant of Loch Lomond. Color: mild gold. Nostril: a humorous juice that can’t not make me consider these Juras we had the opposite day. There are some off notes nevertheless it’s not set in stone that these notes are certainly off. Like, paraffin, a contact of fish oil, yoghurt, engine grease, cardon paper, fresh-pruned privets and field bushes, luggage of fruit and vegetable peelings… Do you get the image? As all the time, the palate ought to play first half… Mouth: enjoyable stuff certainly. There’s some recent oak, which can counsel this or a part of this was re-racked, bananas, teas and vanilla, no greasiness, slightly curry, bitter fruits (chutneys), a bit mustard, a bit sawdust… We’re not too removed from the group’s fashionable fashion (current Glen Scotias, Loch Lomonds…) End: medium, with notes of earl gray, bergamots, and candy mustard mixed with a bit inexperienced walnut liqueur and a few gentle yellow pepper. Feedback: very intriguing and price trying out. Greater than ever, it is a matter of style. Not even certain about my rating, please take it with two grains of salt.

Previous Rhosdhu 27 yo 1993/2020 (50.8%, Maltbarn, bourbon)
Color: white wine. Nostril: it’s slightly cleaner, most likely easier, slightly extra on bitter almonds, marzipan, minimize cactus, with extra coconut and vanilla as properly. Lets name this nostril ‘a tad extra business’? With water: extra fruits, particularly bananas, and solely a tiny quantity of cream cheese. Mouth (neat): very near the 1990, only a tad extra lemony and peppery. Marginally fruitier. With water: transferring in direction of the 1990, however with extra fruit drops, Jell-Os, liquorice allsorts… So extra sweets than fruits. End: medium, leafier. Extra bergamots. Feedback: would you please inform me if I like this? I do know, reversing roles, sounds odd however as soon as once more this a dilemma in my glass. I am going to work on my Rhosdhus earlier than the subsequent Rhosdhu session on WF.
