Inform me in regards to the three principal markers of Glendullan, you have obtained 30 seconds. Tick-tock-tick-tock… Precisely and that is why, I imagine, many use re-racking, STR, wine ending or different technique of re-flavouring, besides perhaps Cadenhead who’ve typically been content material with going ‘full-rocket-fuel mode’. Let’s first have a younger indie one which is perhaps very wild, after which the brand new Prima & Ultima that needs to be ‘one thing’. Which light trick did they discover?…

Glendullan 10 yo 2010/2020 (55%, Liquid Treasures and eSpirits Whisky, sherry butt, 240 bottles) 
Color: gentle gold. Nostril: trendy, candy, fruity and really bonbony. Banana cream, lemon drops, coriander, prickly pears, chenin blanc and a pack of Haribo’s finest. A household pack. With water: as ordinary, just a little brioche, bread, dough, grist and vanilla. Very good however simply between us, the unique distillate isn’t extraordinarily essential underneath these circumstances. Mouth (neat): certainly, good, within the JS fashion, with some butterscotch, custard and cappuccino at first, then biscuits, cola water and pancake sauce. Pecan pie with some marmalade. With water: extra jam, gingerbread, oak spices, just a little white chocolate, raisins, pumpernickel… End: lengthy and just a little brighter. Rhubarb tarte with meringue and custard. Feedback: very trendy, excellent certainly, however this may not assist us discover the markers of Glendullan.

The Singleton of Glendullan 28 yo 1992/2021 (60.1%, OB, Prima & Ultima, refill + Madeira, 414 bottles)
Extra double-maturation than ending as a result of this child first spent round 14 years in well-behaved refill wooden, then 14 years in two ‘small ex-Madeira barriques’. As I perceive it, this can be a little experimental however I suppose it is simpler to experiment with Glendullan than with Brora. You say what about Lagavulin + Guinness? No, that may’t be actual. By the best way, pretty blue/inexperienced tinted glass ala Johnnie Walker Blue right here. Color: full gold. Nostril: only a few whisky folks, if any, will inform in regards to the sort of Madeira that is been in use, whereas the variations between varied varieties might be as extensive as between, say PX and manzanilla. However that is good, with smells from the woods (moss, fern) and certainly some tender mustard, dried oranges wit cloves, and whiffs of latest thuja wooden in a souk. When you settle for, intellectually and philosophically, that you could be flavour single malt, you will discover this fairly pretty. With water: pencil shavings, thuja wooden, model new humidor and walnut wine. Mouth (neat): just a little sturdy and really spicy. Loads of ginger, extra mustard, horseradish, cinnamon mints and bitter oranges, with a sourness (inexperienced walnuts). With water: Fernet-Branca, ginger wine, pepper liqueur, and actually lots of straight peppers of all types identified to Man. End: lengthy and fairly just a little extra ‘malt whisky’, with even just a little brown bread and a few peppery molasses. Feedback: my lizard mind appears to take pleasure in this concoction fairly quite a bit, however I am very suspicious of my lizard mind, as anybody needs to be. No? Conservation no-fuss rating right here, I’ve to admit I am a bit misplaced. The one I will at all times bear in mind is the 38-1974/2014 (WF 91).
