Round 23
This was a fun one. Overall quite a nice variety of whiskies that none of us were familiar with. And, we learned another hard lesson regarding price and quality.
Date: 1/23/2019
Bottles:
Duncan Taylor Caperdonich 20
Duncan Taylor Octave BenRiach 2011
Port Askaig 8
Clynelish 14
Duncan Taylor Caperdonich 20
All bottles this round were 15% off at our local liquor store, so we splurged for this pricey one just to take advantage of the sale. This pricey boy set us back $370 and reminded us once again that price does not equal quality.
The Cap was buttery and rambunctious. An overwheming amount of alcohol, and water did not help it very much. As you drank it, subsequent sips provided diminishing returns. It was like being suffocated with scotch.
Duncan Taylor Octave Benriach 2011
By far the round favorite. We’ve had great luck with the Octave series and this bottle was no exception. A real sherry bomb, but the peat made it taste like it was aged in hickory. Vaguely mesquite BBQ themed. We enthusiasically approve of this bottle.
Clynelish 14
Our first Clynelish proved to be a nice one. Sweet and fruity, bananas on the nose and bubblegum on the palate. An oaky boy with a bourbony feel. Very nice.
Port Askaig 8
Our first Port Askaig as well. We drove by the distillery on our trip to Bunnahabhain, and they were still constructing their visitor center.
Their 8 year tasted like a peaty new make. Barely picked up anything from the barrel, but we all felt it was quite enjoyable. Like a peaty La Croix.

Caperdonich 24 Year (1995) Carn Mor "Celebration of the Cask"
Review by: The Muskox I’ve been very lucky to have a semi-regular flow of dead-distillery whisky delivered straight to my door. Caperdonich survived much longer than most of its counterparts, distilling all the way up to 2002. This cask was bottled for Whisky Fair Takao in Taiwan (hence the vaguely-sexy label). Distillery: Caperdonich. Bottler: Carn Mor. Region: Speyside. ABV: 56.6%. Cask…

I gave up writing down any comment this gorgeous night. Drunk up at all.
Caperdonich 1973 33 year old Old & Rare Douglas Laing.
I feel awfully sorry I cannot leave detailed comment for this fascinating Caperdonich, as I lost my memo... smooth mouthfeel then comfortable conifers, creamy, elegant malty and soft citrus flavor, almond sweets and milk cream lingering.
Happy 6th Anniversary to Bar Caperdonich !
Caperdonich 21 1979/2001 #3285 SV Vintage Collection (43 %)
Dette er en Caperdonich fra Signatory Vintages serie Vintage Collection. Den er destillert den 30.11.1979 og tappet den 31.8.2001. Det kom 410 flasker. Etiketten opplyser pliktskyldigst at den er lagret på en «oak cask». Alltid nyttig.
Nesen var ganske fruktig, med litt gress, vanilje, sitrus, malt, stikkelsbær, pære og litt hvitvin. Smaken var søt, med vanilje, malt, sitrus og litt grønne epler. Avslutningen var halvtørr, med malt, litt nøtter, vanilje og sitrus. Med et par dråper vann kom det til litt blomster på nesen, vanilje og mer gress. Smaken ble en tanke søtere og fyldigere, med malt og litt krydder. Avslutningen ble lengre. med krydder og vanilje, og noe mer maltsødme.
Frisk og fin; kanskje litt «enkel» når det gjelder kompleksitet og utvikling og denslags, men det den gir, var absolutt lett å like. Med vann ble malten og fylden noe tydeligere; for meg gjorde et par dråper vann denne whiskyen klart bedre og mer interessant. Og 1979 er jo generelt en god årgang (host).
