En utmärkt sherrylagrad whisky. Mycket uppskattad av många och den gjorde inte mig besviken heller. Min poäng: 86 p

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Hmmm - that would be a rather downbeat finish to a rather upbeat evening... Not to worry, though... I spotted a bottle on my middle shelf I didn't report on yet. The Mortlach 16yo (43%, Flora & Fauna) ended up on my shelves last December through a bottle swap with Alexander van der Veer. It did very well when I decided to open the bottle a few weeks ago.
Nose: Sherry, holding back for a few seconds before taking your nose by force. Fruits, wood, smoke and maybe a hint of rubber in the background. Wonderful. Time unveils new layers of complexity - especially in the tropical fruits department.
Taste: Sweet and round at first, solid fruity centre, long fabulous finish. Surprisingly smooth. Just dry and winey enough in the finish to keep you pouring.
Score: 87 points for now - might even creep up further with time and some air. I think this is the highest scoring F&F bottling I've tried so far. Colour: Deep mahogany
Taste: Rich, smooth and an interesting combination of sweet and dry flavours, with a marked saltiness
Finish: Bitter-chocolate. The scented smoke returns in the aftertaste.
