Glen Elgin 2006 16YO 55.9%
Nose: When I first open and smell it, it is like a cubical filled with cigarette buttheads and sulfur with honey. Some bread and citrus expressions. Very weird.
Mouth: Citrus, syrup and pretty sharp. Very odd in the mouth; someone is trying to stuff a cubical into my mouth?? Creamy and then malts along with peppery spice. A rather badly constructed bottle.
Finish: Creamy and malts.
A very odd and bad whisky, in my opinion, I thought something was wrong with my nose and palate when I first drank it. Whiskybase has proudly given this bottle an 85/100- amazing.

Honestly, this guy has used up his annual white lie quota.
This is one for the sulfur boys. This shall be on par with GOT whisky bottles, they are bad in different ways.
Nice scale: 50/100
I am not a sophisticated whisky drinker but this is sure out of my reach to appreciate it
