Far Too Long

Ahh, once again I have fallen down on the job and let my little (probably unread) blog go fallow for some months. I don't quite have the manic motivation of some out there in the blogosphere. I note that I never got around to reviewing the Mortlach or the Old Pultenay for you as promised back in my February post.

This much I can say, while I am drinking a bit of the Old Pultenay -- it's good, but really not all that great. Nothing really distinguishes it for me from any other malts. The Mortlach, on the other hand, has lots of character and some subtle sherryness.

I've also found that my taste for Bowmore has waned somewhat. Some of the bottles that have been open a while have a weird flavor to them -- don't know if it's the famous off-taste of Bowmore, but I'm hoping the cask strength 1989 vintage 16 yo doesn't suffer the same fate.
