Particular Releases Particular, at present Glendullan

Because the attentive reader could have observed, I’ve a comfortable spot for Glendullan and different such comparatively unobtrusive distillates. We have already tried fairly a couple of fairly good ones this yr.

The low energy is a bit scary right here however in any case, this wee child’s solely a stepping-stone to the brand new Particular Launch right here, so let’s examine… Color: full gold. Nostril: autumn leaves (how becoming), then dry walnutty sherry, then whiffs of heat caramel and English breakfast tea. Then a bit café latte with drops of triple-sec poured in. Finally ends up fairly grassy and beerish, which to me was not unseen in Glendullan, particularly in indie ones (Cadenhead’s and different such tight ones). Mouth: slightly creamy, not that mild, with numerous walnut cake within the arrival, then cedar wooden (out of your Romeo & Julietta) and extra English breakfast tea. New bamboo straw. End: a bit quick, sweeter, and as soon as once more on candy beer and tea. Malt within the aftertaste, Ovaltine… Feedback: very all proper, not as skinny as I might have thought.

SGP:451 – 82 factors.

Maybe an indie since we have talked about indies…

Glendullan 9 yo 2011/2021 (46%, James Eadie, Small Batch 'Black Swan', bourbon, casks #308284, 310477, 310480)

We all the time like to see birds on labels; on this case the black swan refers to a well-known pub. Let’s test if this one’s in James Eadie’s ordinary fashion, slightly richer and creamier because of skilful woodcraft. Color: white wine. Nostril: very citric, in a stunning manner. Concentrated lemon juice, lime juice, a contact of varnish, grapefruits, contemporary rhubarb, then toffee apple and Canadian apple ice wine. No must lodge a grievance this far. Mouth: a bit much less exact than I had hoped, as if this grassiness (or slightly apple peel) would type of conflict head-on with the sweeter, extra liqueury citrus. Some bitterness rising too, plus sweet sugar. Issues would are likely to get quieter after thirty seconds. End: rounder, good. IPA, hops. Peppery aftertaste. Feedback: a high-quality drop as soon as once more however then in fact, it isn’t one among their well-known younger… say Caol Ilas.

SGP:451 – 81 factors.

The Singleton of Glendullan 19 yo 'The Siren's Song' (54.6%, OB, Special Release 2021, Untold Legends)

The Singleton of Glendullan 19 yo ‘The Siren’s Tune’ (54.6%, OB, Particular Launch 2021, Untold Legends) Four stars

This one from refill American oak, with a Cognac end on prime of it. Let’s examine if the Cognac did offset part of Glendullan’s proverbial grassiness (proverbial in my very own guide, at the least). Color: straw. Nostril: raisins and peaches on prime of sunflower and peanut oils, on prime of stewed apples, on prime of walnut cake and a pack of dried figs. Wee whiffs of ale, or slightly gueuze. With water: a pack of lemon drops and even perhaps some Jell-O. Barbecued marshmallows and candy maize, additionally sultanas with a bit curry and turmeric from the wooden (I suppose). Mouth (neat): slightly tight, a bit eau-de-vie-ish at first (kirschwasser), getting then wider and rounder, with a couple of raisins and as soon as once more these juicy peaches. Quite preserved peaches, truly. With water: extra spices, turmeric certainly, paprika, ginger, raisins. Tends to play hide-and-seek with the cognac, feeling. End: medium, candy and comfortable. Actually feels ‘neatly enhanced’ and but ‘pure’. Feedback: very sensible work right here, in my humble opinion.

SGP:551 – 86 factors.
