Typical Aberlour, punchy fresh apples and pears, soft cereals and some woody oak, what more could you want? 83/100
Aberlour 9 Years Old Batch 7
Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2013
Smoky and coastal exactly as I expected, quite mealy and herbal in places and some sweetness and nutty nature, perhaps from the finishing? 86/100
Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2011
Quite smooth, fruity and vanilla led, perhaps the cask influence at 10 years is just starting to make its presence felt against that thick and unctuous mealy cereal nature from the Bere. 85/100
