I am conflicted on this bottle— on the one hand it had some wonderful notes, good structure, and a nice finish, so it was a good bottle. On the other hand, the flavor profile is not as clean and well defined as the CC:01 or MRC:01 and the other limited releases from Port Charlotte.
Simple and delicious. This Invergordon did not have a ton of complexity or depth to its flavor profile, but what it did have was good. The milky profile was quite unique and made this really easy to sit back and sip. This would be an ideal easy sipper for the end of the a long day— there are some pleasantly interesting notes, but nothing agressive and nothing that demands attention to understand.
Bright and full of youthful spirit this dram is remarkably complex though the flavor profile is subtle and light enough that it is easily overpowered by anything else sitting on your palate.
An immensely popular dram at a local virtual tasting, this Glenlossie had enough complexity from the double oloroso maturation/finish that there was plenty to love. It had great structure or body from the wine and wood influence.
Bright and citrusy with just a kiss of spice this Glen Spey made for an easy summer dram. The initial citrus notes give a bit of a punch to what is otherwise a lovely crisp and simple profile.
