For the penultimate bottling of Whisky Sponge, the gentlemen at Decadent Drinks have chosen Glen Moray. Or rather two Glen Moray Hogsheads, one Refill, dating from 1990, certainly Bourbon, the other 2d Fill Sherry, dating from 1991. The result was 302 bottles ready to be sold around the world.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

Quite old-school, elegant nose, with a fine and delicate woodiness. Amadou, wood wax, polish. Fermented and candied fruits, black berries, figs, muscat grapes, blood oranges, redcurrants. Maple syrup and fir honey. Floral touches. The palate is still very woody, with quince jam, oak bark and resin, a pinch of cinnamon, saffron, slightly exotic spices. Green tea. Very long, quite magnificent finish, just the right amount of explosiveness, resin and wax, sweet spices, citrus zest and cigar box. Green apple peels.

 

In Short, 

At this age, there's always something special. It's excellent, obviously, bewitching, complex and deep. On the palate, however, it's a little less successful, there's nothing that stands out compared to the nose and the finish, which are sublime. A fine near-conclusion for this legendary range. Of course, the price is almost as violent as the finish.

Score : 90
