Another new distillery to the club, GlenAllachie 18 did not disappoint. Matured in Oloroso, PX and virgin oak, it sings of barley, raisins and butterscotch. Many naysayers knock GlenAllachie’s single malt range as the distillery focused its production on blends until ownership changed in 2017, but this offering is nothing to turn one’s nose up at. Overall, it has a pleasant, very drinkable body and sweetness and suggests that real thought was put into which casks would be earmarked for single malts. 46% ABV.
An interesting release from whisky giant Diageo as part of their Flora and Fauna Series. This 26-bottle series launched in the 1990’s allows the whisky enthusiast to sample single malt drams that often end up in blends. This offering is a 16 year-old single malt officially released from the Dailuaine distillery. Sherry matured. Look for fruitcake, cereals, nuts and spice. 43% ABV. A new distillery to the club, it was great to try a lesser-known bottle off the beaten path!
Well, what can you say about that round from DJ! Even when he started to show some cracks early on and the rest of the field responded, he just kept up the onslaught of excellent shot choices and phenomenal putting. No one really had a chance. Thanks again to all who participated and look forward to doing this again early in 2021.
Dustin Johnson had quite the strong 3rd round, got a good 4 stroke lead going into the final round tomorrow, will he hold on and will he win you this pool?? Stay tuned to find out!
