Blind Tasting #5: Glenlossie 2007 12 Years (Càrn Mòr)
We take a turn into the world of sherry-matured single malt, with an appetizing Glenlossie 2007 12 Years from Càrn Mòr.
Caol Ila 2007 13 Years (Torsten Paul Whisky Company)
A mature example of a young-ish Caol Ila, this is a great pick by Torsten and surprisingly affordable—I’ve seen Caol from the late 2000s go for much higher prices.
Glenlivet 2007 12 Years (Signatory Vintage for TWE)
Seriously dangerous stuff from Glenlivet and Signatory Vintage, bottled for The Whisky Exchange.
Benrinnes 2007 12 Years (Whisky Weekend Twente)
Not a crowdpleaser but a bold choice by the Whisky Weekend Twente folks. I’m quite happy they picked this Benrinnes and went down a road less traveled.
Hazelburn 2007 9 Years Old (Barolo Cask)
This Hazelburn was finished for three years in ex-Barolo casks. It is adventurous and fun, but not completely balanced.
Inchmurrin 2007 10 Years Old (Kintra 9th Confidential Cask)
Now that the distillery’s been lifted out of obscurity, you start to see more independent bottlings of Loch Lomond whiskies. This secretive Inchmurrin is an example of this trend.
