Mina kommentarer:
Hade denna med på en Skottlandsafton på jobb. Den klarade sig ganska bra, men den ska testas mer noggrant vid annat tillfälle.

And then Maarten, my guest, arrived. Final rating of the Scapa would have to wait until the next session. Maarten brought a Glengoyne 10yo (40%, OB, 70cl) with him; we decided to taste it head-to-head with the Glengoyne 12yo (43%, OB, 70cl) from my collection. For reference, we put a Glendullan 8yo (40%, OB, 70cl) next to them. Wow! Time hasn't been kind to the Gledullan. The original score of the fresh bottle was 74, but now the bottle's nearly empty it has lost a part of it's bouquet and it would rate around 72 points. The Glengoyne 12, on the other hand, seemed to have improved considerably. It has been a few months since I last tasted it; the different components of the rich aroma were more balanced, and the taste had become a tad softer. The original rating was 73; this one would rate 74 points. I'm curious how this one develops further.
The Glengoyne 10 was a very nice surprise. At least as good as the 12yo. old - maybe even a little bit better. I forgot to make notes, but I'll keep my eyes open for a bottle of my own. This may prove to be one of these rare occasions where a younger malt rates higher than its older brother. I'll give it 75 provisional points for now
