Here's a load of old pretentious bollocks for yeese:

Speyside Malt 38 yo 1977
Nose: really nice, quite a lot of straight oak but in a beautiful way. A lot of cinnamon, fresh oranges and some orange blossom, cardamom. Cedar wood. Big minty notes, hints of eucalyptus. Some waxy notes. Apple peelings and mirabelles. A slight oriental hint as well, with a little tobacco and incense. Mouth: quite wood-driven again, including a light sour touch. Ginger, walnuts, lemons and Seville oranges. The tobacco returns. Aniseed and plenty of herbal liqueur. Coconut. Finish: medium long, minty and oaky, with hints of fruit tea.

Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2008 (50%, OB 2014, 36.000 btl.)
Nose: very close to the raw materials. Intense barley aromas, cookies and bread. Some heather honey and lots of pears. Very fresh. Light vanilla notes. Lemon sweets. Clean and rather straightforward, but the focus is impressive. Mouth: intense fruity notes (pears, sweet lemons), honey-coated almonds and plenty of white bread. Vanilla. Quite some triple beer notes. Maybe a light whiff of sea air. Finish: medium long, sweet malty notes with soft herbal touches and just a little mint.

I am impressed with the creamy texture, the pear sweetness and the focus.
