Scotch Tasting 2007
The day after Christmas, Bob, Justin, Larry, Evan and myself got together to taste some excellent Scotches, some of which we'd given and received for gifts.
Here are my notes, as well as some shots of the labels...

Macallan 18
Macallan 18
Sherry Oak Casks
Nose: Sherry! Wooy; floral
Taste: Maple syrup, wood, sweet and dark. Thinner than the cask, slight pepper.
Personal: after a concrete job at Justin's, on a brisk day, the perfect dram. Smoother than the cask, very refined, like a violin. Not commanding though, like the symphony of the Uigeadail.

Laphroaig 15
Laphroaig 15, 43% abv
Nose: A fresh field. Mossy peat, very green. Some vanilla, smoke
Taste: Peat! Dark, sweet, salty, almond, lasting pepper
Personal: The Laphroaig 10 used to be my favorite before the Ardbeg (10) and the Laphroaig 15 nearly brings me back. Where the Ardbeg has a grassy brief, sweetness, the Laphroaig has a lasting finish on my tongue that makes this dram last twice as long as a typical malt.
Aberlour A'bunadh
Aberlour A'bunadh, 59.2% abv, Batch No 78
Nose: Bread, chocolate, dark caramel, peat or green hay. Some wood.
Taste: Vanilla! Caramel. A violin pull across burnt sugar, severe pepper finish.
Personal: a hailstorm or pepper and alcohol on my tongue like hot coals; cask strength there...sitting in front of the fire would be a good place to enjoy this.
Ardbeg 10
Ardbeg 10, 46% abv, non-chill filtered
Nose: Straw or hay, sweet, vanilla. Fleeting.
Taste: Peat! and sweet. Some alcohol aftertaste, but just enough to be pleasant.
Personal: Before the Uigeadail, this was my favorite scotch. The simple sweet yet complex grassy and peat smoke of the Ardbeg have won me over.

Tobermory 10
The Isle of Mull and Tobermory Distillery
The only distillery on the picturesque Hebridean Isle of Mull
Appearance: straw, light gold
Nose: caramel, wood, syrupy fruit
Taste: astringent, smooth, menthol,
Personal: similar to Mortlach...
