He gave Old Pulteney 21-Years-Old a glowing review, commenting that the single malt is ‘by far and away one of the great whiskies of 2012, absolutely exploding from the glass with vitality, charisma and class.’

Jim Murray’s Tasting Notes of Old Pulteney 21 Years Old:
Old Pulteney Aged 21 Years db (97.5) n25 if you had the formula to perfectly transform salt, citrus, the most delicate smoke imaginable, sharp barley, more gristy barley, light vanilla, toasty vanilla, roasted hazelnut, thinned manuka honey, lavender honey, arbutus blossom and cherry blossom, light hickory, liquorice, and the softest demerera sugar into the aroma of a whisky, you still wouldn’t quite be able to recreate this perfection...; t24 the sugars arrive: first gristy and malt-laden, then Demerara. This is followed by a salty, nerve-tingling journey of barley at varying intensity and then a slow but magnificently complete delivery of spice...; f24 those spices continue to buzz, the vanillas dovetail with the malt and the fruit displaying a puckering, lively intensity. Ridiculously long fade for a malt so seemingly light, the salts and spices kiss the taste buds goodnight...; b24.5 by far and away one of the great whiskies of 2012, absolutely exploding from the glass with vitality, charisma and class. One of Scotland’s great undiscovered distilleries about to become discovered, I think... and rightly so!

Scapa
De Scapa distilleerderij – vroeger Scapa of Orkney geheten - is de op één na meest noordelijke distilleerderij van Schotland.
Scapa Flow, de baai waaraan Scapa Distillery ligt is een natuurlijke haven die bekend staat om de Britse vloot, die daar gelegen was in beide wereldoorlogen.

Het water voor de malt is kristalhelder grondwater dat via pijpleidingen bij de distilleerderij aankomt.
Dit zorgt voor veel minder “turf” invloed  in de uiteindelijke whisky, maar complementeert deze met kenmerkende zachte smaken.

Scapa 14 years old

Kleur: Brons, goudgeel
Geur: Rijp fruit, leer, licht turf en peper.
Smaak: Butterscotch, bijna romig, nootmuskaat, gember en wat cacao.
Dit mengt zich met wat stevigere smaken van kruiden en een hele lichte zilte toon.
Een prachtige malt.

Springbank 21 years old Malt Whisky

Nose: A fruity delight and full of the rich
authority expected of such a classic whisky. Hints of strawberry and fresh melon emerge at first, backed up by syrup, demerara sugar and
buttery fudge.

Palate: Complex. Sugared almonds and treacle toffee to the fore, hinting at the oloroso sherry casks used in the maturation of this stunning
whisky. Milk chocolate, a blast of coconut and soft leather comes later.

Finish: A touch of smoke makes a late
appearance as the dram leaves you with a creamy, dark chocolate flavour. The richness goes on and on.

Casks:
Fresh Sherry & Refill Sherry
