    86
    Color
    Orange gold.
    Nose
    Like Elijah Craig 18 single barrel bourbon, sweet fermenting bananas, apples, cedarwood.
    Body
    Full bodied, thick, oily pat of butter on the tongue.
    Palate
    Confirms the nose.
    Finish
    Low-medium heat but a nice long and smooth finish. The kicker on this one is the bitter barley and oak symphony that lavishes your mouth in the breath following the swallow - very nice for a beer and bourbon lover!

    Bottle 9938 (of what may be a different fill of Scottish Oak since it said 16 years - 2nd fill?), this one takes patience. On initially tasting (I never review prior to at least three pours), I thought it was an aged-bourbon imposter. After some time and patience, I appreciate the delicacy and uniqueness imparted by the local oak. I still like the Glengoyne 17 better, but this is a really good Highland.
