- Medium-sweet, oatmeal, butterscotch, salty caramel, apple mash, some oak
- Afdronk:

- Geproefd op:
- 19-4-2019
- Geur:
- Slightly sweet, some tropical fruits, yellow apples, dried apricots, fruit acid drops, berry marmalade, vanilla fudge, hint of malt, damp oak, light minerality on the background
- Smaak:
- Sweet, mild spices (cinnamon), canned peaches, dark berry jam, toffee, milk chocolate, light oak
- Afdronk:
- Sweetish, slightly nutty, caramelized pears, oat cookies, hint of oak
- Conclusie:
- Very nice and balanced NAS from Glen Scotia, definitely better than many entry-level malts with age statement. Light, easy going, with some tropical motives. Quite simple and you shouldn’t try to find any complexity in it but often this is an advantage, isn’t it?

- Geproefd op:
- 19-4-2019
- Geur:
- Light, fruity (tropical fruit caramel candies), dried apples and sultanas, strawberry jam, honey notes, hint of barley, a bit of vanilla, mineral and woody notes on the background. Water opens beautiful sherry notes and intensifies wood.
- Smaak:
- Sweet, slightly spicy (ginger and some intense “winter” spices like clove and cardamom), blackcurrant jam, chocolate, a lot of oranges, gentle oak
- Afdronk:
- Short, a bit sweet, different berries, blackcurrant leaves, creamy notes, mild oak
- Conclusie:
- Very nice malt despite it’s NAS. Full-bodies, well balances, pleasant on every tasting stage. It lacks complexity but it’s very drinkable and cask strength in addition. Good choice to enjoy without high expectations. Quite pricey though.

Malts Of Scotland 19 year old The Dark Side of Islay Octovulin
Malts Of Scotland
- Geproefd op:
- 17-4-2019
- Geur:
- Soft smoke, light fruitiness (mainly yellow apples), some red berries, lemon pie, toffee, hint of vanilla, wet chalk on the background. Water releases sweet caramel and earthy notes with touch of grilled bacon. Later come very light farmy notes.
- Smaak:
- Sweet, ashy, a bit spicy (ginger and white pepper), currant jam. Dilution fades down the smoke and opens orchard fruity notes along with salty coastal touch and some minerality. Very gentle touch of oak at the end.
- Afdronk:
- Long, somewhat salty, nuts and leather tones, some berry marmalade, cold ashes, fading sweetness.
- Conclusie:
- Very pleasant blended malt, vivid and intense, smoky but not too much. Nice fruity notes adjoin with gentle minerality producing together very good balance. Quite pricey but definitely worth tasting.

Craigellachie 9 year old 2008/2017
Langside Distillers - Hepburn's Choice
- Geproefd op:
- 13-4-2019
- Geur:
- Slightly creamy, yeast, some fusel oil, pear mash, porridge, butter shortbreads, hint of vanilla, fudge
- Smaak:
- Quite rough, strong alcohol influence, slightly spicy (ginger, cardamom), cooked vegetables, malted barley, porridge, muesli, orchard berry jam, some minerality, hint of oak
- Afdronk:
- Short, alcohol, apple seeds, yeast, malt, salty notes, some bitterness
- Conclusie:
- Very basic and immature single malt. Young nose with yeast and fusel oil, rough unbalanced taste and some bitterness in the aftertaste. Interesting to try but definitely not for buying a full bottle.
