Miltonduff 1980, Malts of Scotland (en)

The German bottler Malts of Scotland is increasingly popular with lovers of single malt. And he has not belied his reputation. This bottle which costs about 130 euros is a beautiful example of the fact that some usually poor rated distilleries can harbor treasures that only good bottlers manage to find. This Miltonduff finished in fourth position. As is always the case in WDTS, opinions are not unanimous about this bottle. His best score is 91 points while the lowest is 77, a difference of 14 points.

fresh and fruity nose. Attack on citrus like blood oranges with a hint of lemon. The mouth is round, a little woody. Alcohol brings a strong presence of depth. The flavors are still on citrus but this time the chocolate tip behind alcohol. The finish is long and powerful with notes of white chocolate and praline. the grassy side resurfaced providing a nice freshness to finish. Altogether a very seductive whisky with a very fine balance between alcohol / flavor / texture.

Corbuso

Colour: Straw Nose: Fresh, floral, slightly fragrant and clean. Taste: Grassy, fragrant, slightly malty and bitter, with some cooked apples and some gentian. The finish is short, round, fragrant, floral and slightly bitter. Impression: Not a bad whisky, rather simple fragrant and with a short finish. Not really my style.
