The Lost Blend

This comes close to what I like so much about the sweet and fruity flavors of my favorite Speyside distilleries (Benrinnes, Keith and Glen Elgin). Loads of mainly fresh green fruit and some exotic fruity flavors in the back. Vanilla of course. There is supposed to be some Islay stuff in here, but no signs of that in the nose.

Yes, there it is: the peaty side of this blended malt enters the stage firmly. Leaving less room for the green and tropical fruit but it definitely does not kill it. Things stay rather balanced although the scale points into the direction of Islay. Perfect abv at (only) 46%. I added just a few drops to possibly release more flavors.

Long and pleasant finish; slightly meaty and dirty in again a pleasant way. Quite dry in the very end. I can only say this is a really good blended malt expression by John Glaser & co.
