Another new Golden Cask release: Glendullan 1999. It caught my interest because it’s such a low-profile distillery. The last time I reviewed one was back in 2011.
Glendullan 15 yo 1999
(59,8%, Golden Cask 2015)
Glendullan 15 yo 1999Nose: young and bright. Lemons, lots of apples and grapes. Gooseberries and hints of rhubarb. Blossomy notes. Light vanilla. Powder sugar and just a little white pepper.
Mouth: lots of green apple notes at first, slightly acrid. Lemon juice. Green spices. Icing sugar again. Almost a light Portuguese wine at higher strength. Quite faultless and summery but also quite uninspired.
Finish: medium long, half fruity, half spicy, almost with a tingling zestiness. Wiskho verde?
Pleasant enough, very youngish and summery. This should make an excellent highball (please don’t shoot). Around € 100.
Score: 82/100
