Efter en vinter med to forkølelser, der begge har sat en stopper for en whiskysmagning, er det vist tiden til, at jeg atter tager bladet fra munden og whiskyen i munden. Har linet en lille Mackmyra session op. Jeg bruger 100-point-skalaen.

Mine erfaringer med Mackmyra begrænser sig til Første Utgavan batch 2008-01 , 46.1%, som jeg fandt ok uden at imponere (76 point) samt en Mackmyra Reserve 22.05.2003/12.06.2006, fad 03-026, 30 liter bourbonfad, 56%, der, trods heftigt fadpræg, var meget bedre (86 point).


Mackmyra Midvinter /2013, 46.1% - duft: newmake og nyslået græs, citroner og grapefrugt. Kiwifrugt og behageligt vaniliesukker. Ganske ok med tid i glasset. En sommerfornemmelse, selvom den hedder Midvinter. Smag: citrus, vanilie og en hurtig eftersmag af grapesodavand. Tørt træbid med førnævnte kiwifrugter. Duften er bedst. Mangler lidt mere af det hele. 78 point.

Mackmyra Iskristall /2014, 46.1% - duft: igen for mig newmake og græs. Overmodne frugter, der giver en sød, nærmest vammel, note. Aktivt egefad i spil. Grønne æbler drysset med kanel i et mix, der er mildt og i bedste fald ufarligt. Smag: brændt vanilie, sukker, kokos, meget fadpræg. En smule softice glæder mig et øjeblik, inden en vandig mundfornemmelse sætter ind. En whisky, der synes presset frem. 75 point.

Mackmyra Special 06 /2011, 46.8% - duft: fyrrenåle blandet med gær og maltbolcher. Hm… Smørsovs med sukker. Ikke ubehagelig, bare helt sin egen. Ville nok slet ikke gætte whisky i en blindsmagning til trods for maltbolcherne. Smag: brændt toffee, der lynhurtigt napper tørt i munden – det er det bitre træ, der tager over. Grøn the. Igen fyrrenåle. Jeg vil foretrække en rigtig the i en rigtig fyrreskov. 76 point.

Jeg har egentlig to Mackmyra mere, men jeg tror, de må vente til en anden aften. Mackmyra har sin egen stil, men jeg er (endnu) ikke overbevist om kvaliteten. Håber det kommer.

Venlig hilsen
Lars

From the same owners of my previous review, BenRiach, my next review is of the GlenDronach Platinum 16 year old. The whisky selected for this special bottling, which is exclusively bottled for the South African market, has been matured for a minimum of 16 years in the finest Oloroso sherry casks.

Whisky: GlenDronach Platinum 16 YO, 48% ABV

Region: used to be classified as a Speyside (Jackson) but officially a Highlands (SWR 2009), Scotland [from WhiskyFun]

Style: Single Malt

Age: 16 Years

In 1826 James Allardice founded the distillery and produced his ‘Guid GlenDronach’ single malt. In 2004 three families, two being South African, purchased BenRiach. Then the same families (The BenRiach Distillery Company) bought the GlenDronach distillery in 2008. The GlenDronach Distillery has been creating richly sherried single malts for nearly 200 years.

As was the case in 1826, The GlenDronach Distillery patiently matures all its single malt whisky in superior quality sherry casks. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that GlenDronach is famous for. So the whiskies have a deep amber to rich mahogany colour, while having the typical sherried styled characteristics; rich dried fruits, Christmas cake mix, stewed fruits and lovely warm spiciness.

Colour: Tawny to mahogany with many thick legs.

Nose: Soft, spicy and rich with lovely spicy stewed fruits and cinnamoned apples. With time in the glass one gets sweetness as well as dates (date loaf bread), prunes, sultanas and dark chocolate. Soft coffee notes in background together with some citrus zest.

Palate: Smooth and spicy (tip and side of tongue) while also being dry and astringent, but not overly so. Divine dark coffee chocolate on edge of palate with a lovely ginger and cinnamon (fire ball sweets) bite combined with some coffee and smoke. More of the expected rich stewed and dried fruits with that lovely sweetness towards the end.

Finish: Very rich and drying finish, combined with the ‘warm heart’, makes it long and satisfying.

Overall: A beauty of a sherried whisky that could be enjoyed at any time, however it seems to be perfectly made for enjoyment around a roaring fire on a cold winter’s night while one contemplates all of life’s little mysteries.

Men jeg har egentlig opgivet at poste i denne tråd. Hvor er det irriterende, at man er begyndt at poste store billeder i tråden, der gør det til en "krig" at indlæse den

Det er jo ikke alle, der har superhurtigt bredbånd, husk det!
