Bester Whisky laut whiskyfun.com:
Bladnoch 26 yo 1958/1985 (46%, Cadenhead)
Certainly the oldest Bladnoch I ever tried. Colour: pale gold. Nose: I’m sorry, but ‘wow!’ Very elegant, very delicate but not weak at all, starting on slightly overripe apples and hints of metal (aluminium pan), with also hints of coal smoke and, as expected, fresh lemon juice. Then we have hints of chives and celery, then rather huge notes of lilac arising as well as freshly cut rhubarb… There may well be a little peat in the background. An old lady that still displays lots of charm. Superb. Mouth: oily – and here’s the lemon (including the zests) as well as quite some spearmint, pepper, mustard, chlorophyll… It gets grassier and grassier with time, superbly bitter (dry herb liqueur), waxy… Then more resinous, candied (crystallized lemon zests, lemon marmalade) and even spicier than at the attack. A lot of green pepper. Very bold and really vibrant despite all these years. The finish is probably the part that’s closest to more ‘modern’ Bladnochs, with lots of lemony notes – the whole being very long. Absolutely excellent! 92 points.
