Tasting Notes |
Craig Daniels | Tasted this one twice - once in Aviemore (1998) and once in Adelaide (2003)(different bottles). This is one of those odd whiskies that changes character when it's been opened for a while and needs lots of time in the glass to mellow. Straight out of the bottle it's worth maybe 81, when the bottle is half empty and the malt sits in the glass for 10 minutes it's worth 88. |
