Undisclosed Speyside distillery Master of Malt (en)

This bottle was sent to us by Master of Malt. The name of the distillery can not be revealed, but there are few distilleries in the Speyside region who continue to refuse to have their names on the label of an independent bottling. It is safe  to think that this is a Glenfarclas. The fact is that this expensive bottle (159 euros) won the high-hand prize for this session. However, it too has not been unanimously rated as the extremes are between 93 and ... 75. Most participants, however, really enjoyed the bottle that got an average of 86.80 points.
Here are the extreme notes attributed to this bottle:
PatGVA
N: Long deep, intense, rum, wet grass, apple chard, resinous, wet hay, Imperial mandarin, pineapple comes next round is great.
B: marvel of balance, apple tart tatin, chocolate, tobacco, creme brulee, vanilla bourbon, rum, a very big moment.
F: long, superb balance, rum it is the best in the series.
93/100

Blackmalt
Color: amber / copper

Nose: very fruity (apples and pears ripe) in the first nose! It starts very good. Smells of honey are mixed with these fruity hints which lose a little intensity but are atill present in the background.

Mouth fairly fluid, woody and distantly spicy. But a great lack of wealth

Finish: long, smooth. ...?

Well, I do not understand ... The nose had started strongly on a very pronounced fruity (and many more began) but then after ... The dead calm! The mouth and final unfortunately nothing changed ...
75/100
