Nothing unusual here. But there was only a splash of Glenfiddich left and they didn’t have another bottle in the store room so I got it free. Score!!

Oh my word it smells and tastes like a morning on the ocean

Cherry, orange and oak in the nose. Maybe some apple? Lots of pepper in the first sip. Caramel and a bit of bitterness in the finish. Best so far in the 2024 advent calendar (masters of malt).

The one in the blue bottle. I forget what it’s called. And I always forget how amazing it is.

Caramel and chocolate and campfire and so so so much butter. Always amazing.

Bowmore 12 at club privé at Bellagio Las Vegas. Always solid and reliable. Just enough smoke, with caramel and butter and berries underneath.

The Dalmore 15 year old, sherry cask

Nose: fresh cut firewood. Strawberry. Just a hint of smoke.

Wood in the taste. Somehow chewy. Lovely long smoky finish with a lot of sherry and wine.
