Carn Mor strictly ltd. Glentauchers 9 yr old (2010). I blew a lot of dust off this as its been in collection for a while now. a big fruitcake on the nose; a sweet one at that with a bit of furniture polish there too. this continues to the big bold taste of spices, sherry and apple pie. Tastes wonderful and just hangs in there all the way through the long finish. not quite hot but very spicy and a bit of sweet sherry along with the drying oak behind it..

At around £50 a bottle, is it worth it? Your description makes it sound a bit 'sweet' for my tastes.

The Balvenie 12 american oak.... not tried this before. first impression is quite smooth with a fudge and vanilla taste .. surprisingly smooth going down too. pretty good so far
