Blended Malt 12 years Orkney (en)

Although WDTS should be reserved for Scotch single malt, it was difficult to refusethe bottle sent by Master of Malt. This is a blended malt (a blend of single maltsfrom different distilleries) ... No great mystery in this case, since Orkney (Orkney)has only two .... Highland Park and Scapa.
This blended malt finished in second place at this session with a gap of 17 pointsbetween the highest score (90) and worst (73).
Here are the extreme notes :

Piazzolla

Nose: dry sherry, a little animal nose first, a note of toasted almonds, a hint of exoticism thereafter but lacks punch. Thereafter, surprisingly evolves with notes of metal and even fish! Mouth: a nice progressive complexity of ripe fruit and exotic. Coconut. Seems old, refined and elegant. A little spice. Superb balance. A little watery? Finish: medium with some milk chocolate in retro olfaction

Savoureur

Appearance: yellow gold Nose: low intensity, fairly well integrated alcohol, malty, orange confit, roasted barley Taste: low intensity, linear, keeps its flavors from the beginning to the end of the mouth Finish: short Conclusion: Basic whisky, interesting profile, it's a pitty that the whisky has not more aromatic intensity
