This actually happened already last Thursday; Part two of our Islay tasting series, of which I missed the first half due to a business trip. The idea was to go around the island of Islay, to get an overview of all the distilleries' core product, with one dram from the mainland to serve as a reference (hence the Speyside Glenfarclas). Menu was:
-Glenfarclas 10yo
-Bunnahabhain 12yo (new 46,3% version)
-Bruichladdich Laddie Ten
-Caol Ila 12yo
-Kilchoman 5yo 2006
In the end it was a close-fought contest between Kilchoman and Bruichladdich, with the former being my choice of the night. Great stuff, despite being half the age or less compared to the others. Can't wait to see what they deliver once they get 10-12 yo's out!
