A very beautiful nose with nice hints of dry hay and fruits. Some meaty hints too. Then some notes of licorice wood appear. A bit of smoke on the background. A very pleasant impression in the palate, made from ripe fruits, a touch of violet and the freshness of cut grass. Spices too. The finish is rather long and very discrete hints of violet share the attention with fruit notes.
2004Is there something magic in the ageing or is it the quality of the bottlings of Signatory? This Cask Strength Bladnoch is really fantastic. All the sweetness of a Lowland associated to the power of a cask strength. At the first nosing, this bottle appears to be of a wonderful quality. The nose detects all the characteristic hints of malts from this area: cut grass etc.. and despite the high percentage of alcohol, the mouth is not hurt at all by alcohol burnings.
A very long and pleasant finish. An excellent bottling, but not really cheap... One has to pay for quality....
2007The nose, revealing hints of ripe fruits on a background of cut grass, is very complex and rich in aromas.
In the palate, the malt mixed to chocolate ant woody notes go on with a kind of aromatic firework one would like to have more often.
A long and pleasant finish, going on on malt with an extraordinary depth.
