About this deal

Finish: Curdled milk, hay, smoke, wasabi root, mustard, woodspice, oak, cornmeal, Frosted Flakes, buttered crumpets, and sponge cake. Here are my tasting notes on this complex dram that Ralfystuff liked so much, he gave it an 89 (really, Ralfy?). Then again, Serge at Whisky Fun was not so kind (84).

The Gaelic word means ‘the beautiful hollow by the broad bay’ - though this has been disputed with some citing that the name Laphroaig is actually derived from the Norse ‘ breid-vik’, meaning broad bay. Glen Garioch (Region: Highlands and Islands, Location: Oldmeldrum) The distillery sits at the heart of the picturesque town of Oldmeldrum This one looks particularly hard but this new distillery on Uig, Abhainn Dearg, is pronounced Avin – Jerrig which is Gaelic for “red river”. Torabhaig (Region: Highlands and Islands, Location: Teangue, Isle of Skye) Picture: Torabhaig Distillery I wasn't blown away by the An Cnoc 12. It's complex, yes, but not necessarily pleasing. In other words, it doesn't "ring my bell," so to speak, whatever the hell that means. . . .

The single malt companion (in Dutch). Libero. p.54. ISBN 9057642360. I can’t call it balanced, but I also can’t quite say why. That amorphism is throwing me off, but it has a medium body and a cold smooth feel to it.

Calling my review “worthless” is not constructive. If you disagree with my conclusions – great! Let’s talk about it here. I’m not the kind of blogger that censors negative comments like this, as I enjoy having frank discussions in the comments section with my readers, but there’s only so much name-calling and “hot air” that I can tolerate. If you really can’t stand the way I review whisky, the solution is simple. Start your own blog! Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

Finish: Not overly long but well rounded and makes your tongue throb slightly but not in an unpleasant,too much alcohol type of way. The pepper and orange mixture lingers on to the very end. You go on to say that you use ‘strawberry’ to identify fruity. Why ? just say fruity, just say sweet. Saying strawberry puts an unrealistic impress in the readers mind that they will taste strawberry, which is only what, as you admit, you THINK it tastes like, However if you say fruity, most tastetd would agree and say – Yea it’s fruity.

What next?

I’m tryng to convery that I think” – THINK, some people think big foot exists, some people think they hear bells when the fall in love – what you think doesn’t matter, it’s not reality – I really shouldn’t have to explain this….gooly A well done, but fairly standard malt, nothing to get too excited about, but nothing at all to dislike. No off notes, no harshness, but not complex or deep. Just a good, slightly above average, easy drinking malt with a very subtle smoke to it. And I mean s u b t l e. On the palate, more honey with a creamy mouthfeel - this has some body to it. The vanilla and citrus is very much in keeping with the nose, absolutely delicious. A little brighter with water, believe it or not - and spicier.
