2008 North Star Dufftown 14 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

According to the lads at whiskyfun.com, this is a really very impressive Dufftowner, "malty to its core and extremely natural and yeasty…" In fact, reading their full review below, it sounds like a bit of a malt-bomb! 59.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 241 bottles from a hogshead.

Other reviews... Colour: white wine. Nose: more acids, tight white wines, pizza dough, fermentary white beers, sourdough, ferments… Ooh this I usually like. With water: old floor-clothes and yeasts and wool and damp plaster. Some kind of very fermentary broth, plus fresh focaccia, with bits of olives inside. That's almost pornographic in my book. Mouth (neat): hurray, massive beers, sour juices, salsify (but yes), parsnips, black nougat, demerara sugar, lemons… With water: triple-hurray, but this is the worst stage, for it is getting a tad dirty, with notes of stale beers. We were going too high anyway. Finish: long, tight, a little adverse to water, and perhaps a little intellectual. And a little smoky. Comments: no, it's really very good, malty to its core and extremely natural and yeasty… Impressive, as long as you like them very malty, as we do.
