Bester Whisky bei whiskyfun.com:
Kinclaith 26 yo 1975 (52.3%, James MacArthur’s Fine Malt Selection)
Colour: gold. Nose: a very nice blend of sherry and Grand-Marnier, Mandarine Napoléon liqueur, bitter orange. Lots of various herbal teas too, developing on cake, fudge. Some hints of aspirin, ginger ale, honey sauce… Very special nose – quite enjoyable.
Mouth: orange cake, orange water, Turkish delight… All sorts of crystallised fruits, big bold notes of crystallised kumquats… Very, very good, getting also quite spicy (mulled wine) and even slightly soapy. Nothing too offending, though. A great experience, as Kinclaith seems to have been not only rare, but also an excellent malt. Great! (and 1975 was the last year of distilling). Now, this was a mini and I don't think there were any full bottles issued. Perhaps one or a few bottles from another bottler (Signatory?) rebottled and relabeled. 90 points.
