When I converted my notes from my little notebook to this blog post, I was actually tempted to give this Glen Ord a higher rating. But that would be a mistake, because I find this whisky to be a bit boring. Now this doesn't mean that it is a bad whisky, but it is almost too balanced, if there is such a thing. There are no playful rough edges. It is a simply a good whisky that goes down very easy.
Nose
A faint rubber smell and a dusty quality. Also some sweetness that is hard to put into more descriptive words. But most notably aromas of hay, straw, grass and saw dust. It is very well-rounded, almost gentle. But not overly complex.
Taste
Sweet and dry with hints of black pepper. Again some rubber and a light peat taste as well. Lots of spices on the palate. Cloves and cinnamon. Nice creamy mouthfeel.
Finish
Malt, cereals, pepper and lemon. Medium length.
