At the second tasting, my impression was that it was dryer than the first time. The spicy sweetness and the remarkable finish remain unchanged. The rating is slightly changed. Probably a question of mood...
2004It's a pity that this malt is almost exclusively used in the Ballantine's blends. I have rarely taste a whisky with such a nice long finish. The very pleasant taste of this whisky remains for long minutes in the mouth. Sweet and spicy, this malt is really advisable. The only problem is that it is rather difficult to find apart from specialised retailers.I really recommend this great malt to anybody.
2003The nose is rather complex, and flower aromas are mixed with some relatively sweet spices.
In the palate, those spices remain but are quite discrete, on a sweet malted background with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
This bitterness dominates the long and pleasant finish as well.
