Blanton’s Single Barrel 2019 Edition
Blanton’s Single Barrel 2019
Firstly, Sweet Wotan, shouldn’t they have rather named this one ‘Blanton’s Single Barrel? Hoppla… Colour: dark gold. Nose: I cannot not think of Glenmorangie here. Very soft, mellow, on soft banana cream, sponge cake, Jaffa cakes, overripe apples… Really the style of a malt that hasn’t got much character, without being empty at all. Pears.
Those tall stills, you know (we’re talking ’bout Glenmo). With water: bonbons and Grand-Marnier, with a drop of gentian spirit. Which, as you very well know, will cure anything. Mouth (neat): tighter than expected and really totally on stewed orchard fruits. Mirabelles, apples, pears, plums, peaches, etc. plus some barley syrup. Blanton’s Single Barrel 2019 Edition
With water: williams pears, mirabelles, perhaps guavas, plus light corn bread and a drop of coconut water. Finish: short to medium, rather caky and very soft. Finger biscuits dipped into real Champagne (not shampanskoye, dear Mr Putin). Comments: another relatively lighter old Glen Moray. Not mindboggling, but very good.
Frankly, peat can be boring, especially when the whisky’s young. All independent bottlers, for instance, have their young Laphroaigs, Caol Ilas or Bowmores and believe me, all are very good. Very good but very similar, thus a little boring. By the way, not sure this state of the market fits the IBs’ original motto, which was rather something such as ‘offering interesting and/or rare variants of official bottlings’ if I’m not mistaken. Are dozens of similar variants still variants? Anyway, now that stellar old Ardbegs or Laphroaigs are more or less extinct, the only way of getting a kick out of some peated whisky may be to taste odd ones in my opinion, and the one we’ll have today is pretty odd indeed…
