Duncan Taylor Whisky Galore Glenlossie 1993 (14 year old) 46%
Bourbon/ Dist: 1993 Btl: Feb 2007/ Tasted: July 2007
A big, rich nose of Madeira laced fruitcake and huge globs of natural caramel along with toffee apple, floor polish, waxy dried fruit, citrus peel and soft spices. The palate is rich, soft and very oily. Full of natural caramel, butter toffee and soft spices. One thinks there’s just too much wood here!
A drop of water does improve things a bit the oak is pushed back allowing the oily orange fruits to show on the nose. However it does make the palate somewhat watery and those wood tannins still dry the palate out and leave you with a sensation of licking out the cask!
