Whisky - Waitrose 1981 21YO spayside port matured 40%
Supermarket malts are normally a bit of a hit and miss thing but this whisky matured exclusively in port pipes is a little star and more than worth its silly low price.
Nose: Prickle at full strength, lots of fruits. Opens up in to a burned Christmas pudding smell in time.
Pallet: Succulent with the port coming through, a little hotter than expected.
Finnish: chillies, custard.
Score: 81 would score more because of the price and curiosity as whisky is normally matured in sherry or bourbon casks
Comment: very interesting and rather nice with Christmas cake. I’m just not getting it tonight. This whisky is now a 23 year old version from the same 1981 vintage. The people on whisky forums think this is Glenfarclas.
