We'll to mark my 100th post I've decided to carry on from our earlier in the year when I turned 50 and do a proper review of the Batch 5 release of Boutique-y Whisky Co's 50yo Blended Scotch Whisky I had to celebrate with!
As you can see there's not an awful lot left...
- Well obviously it's a blend, the youngest component of which is 50 years old.
- Boutique-y Whisky Co blended and bottled it.
- Not a lot more unfortunately!
These are Boutique-y's thoughts:
Appearance: Dark brown, swirls leave thick lines which turn into blobs rather than legs.
Nose: Dunnage warehouses, dark chocolate, black cherries.
Palate: Slight honey notes, bitter chocolate with a spicy kick, slightly drying.
Finish: Bitter chocolate - not unpleasant, drying with a hint of smoke?
Overall: A lovely dram, it's age showing in the bitter chocolate notes and the dunnage warehouse nose - lovely to drink and even nicer to share!
