Captain Buff
If it matters I am not a Scotch aficionado; I am a regular guy. If you are looking for a review full of awesome dictionary words then you may want to head on to Google! However my bet is that there are a few guys around that would like to read a review from another average guy; rather than an indecipherable list of polysyllabic adjectives from a ‘connoisseur’.
I bought this bottle around a month ago and it was quite a surprise! Opened it with a mate and we both had to have a few sips before the taste buds adjusted…by no means is that a negative thing though! It is simply ‘ballsy’ and that was unexpected. The tasting notes mention Oak and Spices; that’s pretty much bang on. Sometimes I read tasting notes and think ‘that’s not what it really tastes like to me…’; however in this case I would thoroughly agree. To the nose it definitely has a strength to it that tells you something a little more flavour filled is on its way. In the mouth you are truly – ’embraced’ is possibly a reasonable euphemism! – by that very taste, Oak and Spices…it takes a few sips to let the palette really adjust and come to grips with what you are tasting. I personally have a reasonable dislike of bourbon so that possibly magnifies the taste for me; however the taste of Oak and Spices/Fruit has a bourbon undertone (to me) which especially becomes apparent with the aftertaste.
That is not a bad point of the 87 Glenturret at all – as I mentioned I simply have a personal response to a bourbon taste. It certainly isn’t overwhelming or I wouldn’t drink it (and I would say so if that was the case); it simply stands out to me. It is quite drinkable once you are accustomed to the strength of it (others may have a broader/stronger sense of taste than me and it may be fine from the first drop to the last drop…this is all just my personal opinion!). I would say that the strength to the body of flavour makes it a specific Scotch that you have to be in the mood for. I would not drink the 87 as a before bed ‘relaxing’ Scotch…more an ‘after dinner’ Scotch or similar. Others may find that a double shot before breakfast is no problems…try it and find out! The Scotch that is…not the double shot..!
Overall quite strong and spicy with a sweet presence in the mouth and aftertaste (that I personally attribute partly to bourbon). However whilst I would not call it ‘easy’ to drink – it has more balls to it than that – it is still quite a fine Scotch and I certainly didn’t find it too heavy going or unlikeable. I personally would not buy it again; but I believe that is a slightly biased opinion due to the perceived bourbon taste…that and the fact that there are a few (though they are becoming increasingly rare) around the 29 years that strike a silhouette as appealing and also are as full bodied, but without the aftertaste.
Yes that was a subtle double entendre…
