I can't say I've really enjoyed any of the young single malts that I've tried, but that wouldn't stop me trying another, at someone elses expense. <Aside to Pip> - did you ever open that bottle of Frysk Hynder?

It wasn't bad at all - a bit lightweight and sort of vegetal: fresh-cut grass, that sort of thing. Not unpleasant, TYVM. -- Pip, the "Mechanical Nightmare" (tm Bonwick Major)

ISWYM, although I hadn't thought of it that way. I guess knowing that Frysk Hynder means 'Friesian Horse' clouded my creative thinking. > Yes, and that was a young one, wasn't it? 3 years. Certainly far from mature. > It wasn't > bad at all - a bit lightweight and sort of vegetal: fresh-cut grass, > that sort of thing. Not unpleasant, TYVM. That was pretty much my take on it. It will be interesting to see how it develops with age. I've just checked their website and they don't have an older one yet (I would think they must have some 5+ y/o barrels now), my guess is they are waiting for 10 years barrel time. I notice they sell barrel-ettes but they're not cheap (per litre), and if I have to take it home and age it myself, well, I'd be wanting a discount like. http://www.usheitdistillery.nl/images/products/product2_large.jpg -- Dnc
