A very interesting one here: a Duncan Taylor bottling of a teaspooned cask from Ailsa Bay, William Grant's massive modern Lowland distillery that generally plugs away in the background producing single malt for the company's blended whiskies. Of course, as it's had a small amount of (probably) Balvenie or Glenfiddich added, it has to be classed as a blended malt.
At 12 years old, this Drumblade is one of the oldest bottlings of Ailsa Bay we've encountered, distilled in 2008, the year after construction was completed. Even better, it's from a sherry cask and bottled at its full strength of 54.3%.

An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
I know I bought a cask strength whisky but was expecting a nice taste but the strength overpowered the flavor, I found it harsh, but I am not a whiskey conasur. I also bought the secret Orkney signatory cask strength and that was very nice.
