Tasting Notes by Whiskyfun Serge: Br1 (53.6%, Specialty Drinks, Elements of Islay, 2009, 50cl) Colour: straw. Nose: there’s something that reminds me of the new ‘Classic’ but this is both flintier and grassier, with more oils and wax. The fruitiness is more discreet but there are notes of green gooseberries. With water: same as the official ‘Classic’, really. Maybe a little more sweet apples. Mouth (neat): rich, fat, oily, mildly fruity and very gingered. Truly the ‘Classic’ but at cask strength. Notes of lemon balm, lemon pie, speculoos… With water: same comments, it tastes more or less like the ‘Classic’ when diluted. Only the notes of new oak maturing are a little less obvious. Finish: same. Comments: I wouldn’t swear this is from the ‘new’ batches but the profiles are very similar indeed. SGP:341 – 83 points.
