April 21, 2013 - Bought Richmond, IN 4/19/2013, $70/750 ml, a yearly donation to Trinity Church, Troy, OH and its Kirking of the Tartans with Piping in the Haggis in upcoming November. Since we were devouring haggis in Dunedin, New Zealand for the last one, which was sucked dry when I got home, decided to taste this one before letting it go heavenward. See all you malt-lovers in Troy in November. Best church service of the year. The empty bottle from last year was the most positive tasting note from this crowd ever, although I think the real power drinkers missed the Aberlour Abunadh
Light but definite yellow with hints of green. Diluted 1:1 with Fiji. Sour apples and vanillic American oak spice, with linoleum, dried orange peel, roasted nuts and lacquer, almost like part of it was aged in Sherry casks (which are themselves made of American oak, for the most part). Nose very gentle and will make no enemies. Though these are not charred casks, there is a definite but light bourbon likeness to this.
Rich-textured, sweetish fruit and moderate spiciness, with little alcohol heat at this dilution (about 55 proof). Finesse rather than power, and again, won't drive away the crowd. Pleasing.
