Round 16

Date: 10/21/2017

Bottles:

Cadenhead’s Fettercairn 28 yr

Cadenhead’s Caol Ila 33 yr

Cadenhead’s Fettercairn 43 yr

Scotland. The motherland. Scotch Club was over a year old, and I thought it was about time we went to the source. Six of us went to Edinburgh, Dalwhinnie, and Blair Atholl for a few nights, then stopped at Cadenhead’s to bring back the next round of scotch for our comrades.

Cadenhead’s is an independent bottler, and they’ll sell you very old whisky for a very reasonable price. Not sure what their secret is, probably has something to do with not shipping internationally which keeps costs down, but if you’re ever in Edinburgh, here’s a sample for what you can get for the £100-£140 range.

Fettercairn 28 year

A real highlander. Bananas and citrus fruits, but strong. The alcohol burn wasn’t there, but it felt like high octane. I compared the palate (favorably) to Fernet. I like Fernet.

With a bit of water, this opened up beautifully. The candyish banana became wonderfully baked banana bread, and the medicinal/petrol qualities rounded out to gentle warmth.

“Citrusy and complex, with a medicinal finish.” - @dynabit

Caol Ila 33 year

As a counterbalance to the fruity highlander, we broght back a classic Islay malt. Peat exactly how it needed to be: with much more finesse that you just don’t see in a younger Islay malt. Damp, dank, coal.

Watering this down unearthed some of the background grassy notes. @cyle compared this to sheep-dung smoked single malt that you can get in Iceland.

“Like a wet dog in the industrial revolution.” - @sreegs

Invergordon 43 year

Finally, our oldest bottle we’ve ever had in scotch club. It’s a single grain whisky, not single malt. The delicate sweetness of a single malt is instead replaced with caramel and toffee. Like a bourbon.

Smells like gingerbread, and tastes like brown sugar and oak. A perfect dram to warm your frozen soul.

“On the edge of cognac.” - @cryptographrix

Cheers!

Gannochy bridge. Thanks mom for being quick on the brakes, so I could run down to snap this one. If you look closely you can see Mom and Ian on top of the bridge. I miss Scotland dearly and can not wait to come hang out some more.
