    About this Episode

    In this episode of the Spirits Blind Tasting podcast I'm doing a blind tasting of Antiquary Blended Scotch Whisky & Strathclyde 27 year old Single Grain Whisky Rare Auld Duncan Taylor.

    Feel free to follow along with a dram of any of these or any other spirit you enjoy as I try to uncover the aromas and flavors of these 2 spirits. My tasting notes from this episode can be found below:

    Spirit A - Antiquary Blended Scotch Whisky (46% ABV)

    Appearance

    • Clarity: Clear
    • Intensity: Dee
    • Color: Gold
    • Suggested texture: Medium

    Nose

    • Condition: Clean
    • Intensity: Medium
    • Aroma characteristics: Overripe sweet apples, grapes, vanilla, cinnamon, baked sugar crystals, fragrant, hints of toasted oak
    • Other notes: Has an initial profile of a warm apple pie, and a vague hint of perfume at the back of that sweetness. The nose is quite dense and heavy. The sweet apple note turns a little bit sour after a while. Bourbon or brandy cask?
    • ABV: ~46%

    Palate

    • Sweetness: Dry
    • Texture: Silky, warming, medium viscosity
    • Intensity: Medium
    • Flavor characteristics: Overripe sweet apples, grapes, fragrant, oak, hints of black tea, cereal/malt.
    • Other notes: Palate carry the aromas nicely, good balance of the different characteristics, the cereal note could mean a younger spirit (10 years) although the balance of the body could also suggest a bit longer maturation (15+ perhaps).
    • Finish: Medium with some complexity (apples and cereal/malt)
    • ABV: ~50%

    Conclusion

    • Quality level: Outstanding
    • Blind guess: Single malt, first fill bourbon cask, 10 years old


    Spirit B - Strathclyde 27 year old Single Grain Whisky Rare Auld Duncan Taylor (53.5%) (Fully matured in Sherry Cask)

    Appearance

    • Clarity: Clear
    • Intensity: Light > medium
    • Color: Amber
    • Suggested texture: Medium > high

    Nose

    • Condition: Clean 
    • Intensity: Medium
    • Aroma characteristics: Dates, baked apples, vanilla, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, molasses, marcipan, undefined smoke element
    • Other notes: A little bit more subdued on the characteristics than spirit A, but way more dense and dark on the overall profile. Wine or port cask?
    • ABV: ~50%

    Palate

    • Sweetness: Dry
    • Texture: Silky, mouth filling, medium > high viscosity
    • Intensity: Pronounced
    • Flavor characteristics: Dates, raisins, brown sugar, molasses, roasted nuts, dried orange peel
    • Other notes: Does not taste like a whisky, but it still smells like a single malt profile. Has more of a brandy profile, so could have some heavy cask influence like full maturation in a brandy cask. Could also be rum as I kept getting hints of molasses throughout, but feels more like a brandy profile on the palate.
    • Finish: Medium to long and very complex (dates, orange peel, roasted nuts)
    • ABV: ~50%

    Conclusion

    • Quality level: Outstanding
    • Blind guess: Single malt, full maturation in brandy cask, 10+ years.
