A few days before reviewing these we tasted a trio of Penderyn with Sherrywood, Madeira and Peated. The Peated here I did not like at all, just peat/smoke, and a bit flat almost. There for I must say that I have not opened the other sample yet.
The Sherrywood and Madeira I liked a lot from Penderyn, and at the festival in Leiden last week I tasted the Portwood and the 41 - Madeira also, and must say, I was not disappointed. Very nice! Something you could have in the standard collection at home.
But back to the dramset of DH17... I tasted the other two in the package....
Cadenshead Winecask / 20 yr old / Benriach-Glenlivet
Nose Flowers and bit malty
Taste Clove, thyme, plumps, vanilla, raisins, custard
Finish Short, dry, sharp, liquirish
Score 8 out of 10, nice with some dessert...

dark red fruit... that stays a bit...

Very nice drams must say in this dramset, love to see what the next one brings...
In this Dramset were also a Bunnahabhain 18 year old, and a Kintra Littlemill 22 year old. These I have tasted and liked but did not made notes of :-( So here is the link to my husband who made notes (sorry, only in Dutch available)
http://whiskyspeller.blogspot.nl/2013/03/bunnahabhain-18.html My score 6 out of 10 for this one. Like the independent bottlings a bit better and the 12....
http://whiskyspeller.blogspot.nl/2013/03/littlemill-1989-2011-kintra.html This one gets a 6,5 out of 10. It would have been higher but when added just a tiny bit of water and it became flat, but at first it was beautiful and full of aroma's.
