I can’t be in agree with whisky writer Jim Murray that age isn’t defining. He explains it by telling on people to whom he without their knowledge give six-year old drink, which tastes as ten-year old and he does it vice versa. I had range of whisky/whiskey from just poured to almost forty years in which I got range of difference. I watched how Murray uses drinks as video with Penderyn whose glasses keep in boiled water (I can’t understand warm whisky/whiskey, it is not as with apple juice for throat curing.) from where he takes, sniffs with don’t touch face technique, sips, rinses in mouth and… he spits every of two times… some people can’t bear violent scenes – me such merciless wasting of whisky. How he can reason on "finish” when he doesn’t swallow? He is an expert and I usually equal in opinions when I can’t agree with his methods of drinking.
It’s Speyburn Aged 10 Years is not usual “classic” with 40%. It’s Speyburn Aged 10 Years Travel Exclusive with 46%. I never had whisky from this distillery who producing drink since 1897.
Alcohol is approaching to heading, but it smells as aqua vitae. I didn’t get anything incorrect in taking on nose.
Strong in using, which power enhances in longer holding and it gives effect of burn with cinnamon on tongue about it whisky’s website doesn’t describe. But I didn’t catch, as they write, hints of vanilla, honey and chocolate.
Aftertaste is the greatest part. Light and doesn’t bother – it gives a stance is need for sitting at fireplace.
P.S. I was planning on buying Penderyn in Rome even though it had the only and not wishful “Legend”, because it had much unnatural elements. I wanted it even despite. That’s because for check a first and one Welsh producer of whisky. Then I heard from Jim Murray, who exactly had Legend, that initially Penderyn colored and changed their mind after Murray’s negative critique. Unprofessional and prospering green approach at first and working on market at second ended my intention to taste anything from Penderyn distillery.
