      Well....two months later and I'm getting this posted. Can I fire myself from this? No. Everyone else would be doing the firing. I'll keep doing it. So here's what I tasted:

*Glenfiddich 12 yr 40% ABV
-See tasting notes from 8/9/2014 for notes.

*Balvenie 12yr Doublewood 43% ABV
     -smelled sweet pastry with caramel and cinnamon bun, grape juice/plum wine
     -tasted peppery candy 
     -with water smelled cake icing, sweet fruit like plums
     -tasted raisin bread, dough that went to peppery oak
     -trailed slight oak but not bitter
     Excellent with or without water! I know I have posted notes about this before but was not able to find them. So I was forced to roll up my sleeves, pour a dram and taste it again. Oh the sacrifices for the club......












​

*Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt  43% ABV  
(Glenfiddich, Balvenie Doublewood 12, Kininvie)
     -See previous tasting notes


​









*Glenfiddich 15yr Solera Reserve 40% ABV
     -smelled raisin bread and dessert, sherry
     -tasted vanilla, caramel with oak
     -with water smelled sweet caramel, floral
     -tasted oak with very light vanilla
     -goes to bitter oak quickly
     Water should be used sparingly with this one!


​

*Glenfiddich 21yr Reserva Rum Cask Finish 40% ABV
     -smelled very fruity
     -tasted caramel, raisin bread then quickly to oak
     -bitter rum oak cask
     -with water smelled sweet cinnamon and floral
     -tasted oak with no bitterness, slight rum
     -trailed quickly with no bitterness
