Blind Tasting #18: Strathisla 2003 13 Years Old (Distillery Reserve Collection)
The final day of the Blind Tasting Competition! What it ride it has been. No, I didn’t win, but I did alright 🙂
Blind Tasting #17: Bowmore 1998 17 Years Old SMWS 3.271
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I was still in the lead, now I’m ‘only’ fourth on the leaderboard of the Blind Tasting Competition.
Blind Tasting #16: Speyside Distillery 1991 25 Years Old (Cadenhead)
Speyside Distillery is one of those anonymous distilleries. To me at least. They tried to change that by hiring Michael Owen as spokes person, but that didn’t pan out. Also, their name is a bit unlucky, as it can cause quite a bit confusion. Plus, are they really Speyside?
Blind Tasting #15: Old Pulteney 2006 10 Years Old Hand-filled
Argh! I mean, it wasn’t a very typical Old Pulteney, yet it bums me out that I didn’t recognize a whisky from what is essentially one of my favourite distilleries.
Blind Tasting #14: Ledaig 2005 11 Years Old (Signatory Vintage)
Always go with your first impression, it usually pays off during the Blind Tasting Competition. For me at least.
Blind Tasting #13: Glen Moray 1992 24 Years Old (Cadenhead)
Everyone at the top of the leaderboard is sort of quietly chugging along, picking up a few points left and right. I’m kind of waiting for someone to explode and taking a more commanding lead.
