Det underlige er hvis man så klikker på årets vinder - Yamazaki 25-yo, så får den langtfra topkarakterer ved "eksperterne".
Dave Broom mener den er "Old and over the hill" og giver den 65 point.
Martine Nouet skriver "Too oaky to be OK" og vurderer den til 70 point.
Ikke ligefrem noget der inspirerer til at smide 650 £ efter den hvis man er så heldig at kunne få en...

Den nyeste batch ligner noget der er meget bedre siden den kan samle den her pris op

Stadig en "samlerpris" som er helt ude af proportioner imo...

En sydafrikansk blend vandt Worlds best blend. Det er overraskende, især med en top blend som Black Bull 40 i konkurrencen
Hvordan sidstnævnte kan vinde "Worlds Best New Release" er mig uforståeligt, den har efterhånden en del år på bagen, og der linkes til batch 1, der er siden kommet en batch 2, men det er vist også et par år siden efterhånden

Meget positiv anmeldelser, men Chris Bunting skriver også
and I think there are just as interesting Japanese whiskies for a lot less, but I am adding myself to the pro-25 brigade if we are judging only on taste.
(Please note the dates on reviews if they are provided. There may be significant variation between different years of a single malt brand)
650 £ er vel bare et greb i lommen for dig Duffer, hvad med at købe en flaske og anmelde den her

Man vil altid kunne finde nogen der syntes en whisky er rigtig god.
Man behøver ikke gå længere end til den legendariske Cardhu 12-års OB og Jim Murray
Den japaner skal nok være udmærket og temmelig interessant hvis den kostede 120 £
Jo, 650 £ er måske et greb i lommen, men jeg tror både du og jeg kunne finde andre og bedre alternativer.
Og det er del fra min øvre grænse - man kan også blive til grin for sine penge

I know. Iphonens tastatur tillod bare ikke den store stil

Lidt skidt, hvis den er så varierende i batch'ene. Især til den pris...
