Glen Elgin 2007, Or Sileis
With a lovely wee animal on the label. With all the salmons they've got in SCO, they should reintroduce bears! Have they? I mean not talking about human animals? Colour: straw. Nose: sameish. I hate it that we would now push the fast-forward button, as we used to do with our Akai cassette recorders, but indeed this is virtually the same whisky. Good news. Mouth: indeed we could have said Pioneer, Nagra, or Revox, but indeed this is similar, except that there would be more oranges, which would make this one even more stunning. Extraordinary orangeness, which would create a kind of fatter and bigger Dalmore. Yep. Finish: perfect. Gets very grassy and peppery towards the aftertaste, not the first time that happens either. Comments: top notch big malt. Now, I hate to say this but please do not pour this to beginners. There, I said it.
SGP:461 - 87 points.
