Inverleven 14 yo 1989 (61.8%, JWWW Auld Distillers, cask #500118, 2005)
Colour: full gold. Nose: more body and more oomph, and more sherry. It seems that this is from a refill butt or something. Notes of fresh walnuts, vanilla, cocoa… Lots of oak but then we get more or less the same fruity bubblegummy notes as in the G&M. Notes of beer (ale) and apple skins. With water: oh, what an amazing development! It got completely different, meaty and farmy (sort of perverse), on well-hung game, rotting fruits (not yet rotten), old wine cellar… Then mega-huge notes of balsamico and sake… Extremely interesting, provided you don’t forget to water it down a bit. Quite superb. Mouth (neat): extremely nutty, coffeeish, liquoricy and caramelly but really too strong. Quick, water is needed: right, it does get much better again, more toffee-ish and coffee-ish this time but also very salty. Even more liquorice. Straighter and cleaner than on the nose when diluted but that’s not really good news here. Finish: long, salty and vanillas, grassier, with the (probable) sherry wood doing a remarkable comeback. An excellent surprise, this Inverleven, especially on the nose. A malt that’s got something of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. 88 points
