Had this one at Whisky Live Shanghai 2012:

Nice peat smoke, well balanced with fruits, enough sweetness, good body and mildly spiced. Clean peated style with a long finish. A very good one.

I\\\'d rather have a full bottle in front of me, than a full frontal lobotomy.

Color

Old gold

Nose

Medicinal, earthy, creamy. Resin, iodine, smoked foods, butter, Parmesan, malt, prunes, blacking, diesel fuel, rubber. Some vanilla crops up later.

Taste

Thick. Smoke, jerked beef (dry-cured ham), cereals, olive oil, citrus, green.

Finish

Rather long. Warming. Briny and moderately smoky aftertaste. Caoutchouc, seaweed, black pepper, orange pith, dried shredded squid, peat reek, turf, sea water, lemon.

Comments

Well-balanced, full-bodied peated malt. Classical Islay style.

N.B. Water addition is decidedly not recommended. The flavours fade unrecognizably, which barely turns the dram into an insipid slop in that case.

Opinions are like assholes - everybody's got one.

Color

Gin clear

Nose

lots of peat with old cheese / Parmesan, ashtray, somewhat milky, some sweetness, (81)

Taste

very sweet , but somewhat undefined & artificial next to the peat. (84)

Finish

the parmesan/cheesy peat note so typical for PCs for me taking over, but not much change or else (82)

Comments

Single dram note (Dramfest NZ 2012)

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...

Color

Pale gold

Nose

The nose is very coastal, as if the briny sea water is spayed into your face. Soft peat. Soft are also the hints of vanilla and apples. Some blue cheese and stale beer. The predominant aromas, however, are stable and wet hay.

Taste

The palate is somewhat oily and feisty, with mostly dry peat and sea salt. Some fruit, but that remains in the background. Olive oil and even a hint of tar.

Finish

The medium long finish is smoky with quite a sweet twist. The bourbon cask rears its head primarily in the finish.

Comments

Port Charlotte is for peatfreaks. This one is very quaffable and affordable.

Color

Old gold

Nose

Lemon, sugar, coal smoke and calomine.

Taste

Lemon barley sugar, lemon sherbet and sooty pear drops.

Finish

Bitter lemon and spice, although quite short.

Comments

I have to admit this is very nice to drink.

It's better to have drunk it all than never to have drunk at all.

My reason for the low rating of this whiskey is the lack of promise on the nose. The taste is fine (leather, oil, fennel, yellow pepper) but the prelude on the nose simply does not wet the appetite so needed for the overall experience of a better whiskey. I would hazard to suggest that this could be one reason for its low price.

Color

Pale gold

Nose

leichter Rauch, wird alsdann von Zitronen und Feigen umrahmt

Taste

Rauch, welcher Leder, Asche und metallische Bestandteile aufweist, alles sehr aromatisch

Finish

Rauch, die weiteren Bestandteile des Taste verstärken sich noch und vereinigen sich schliesslich zu feinem Pfeffer; leicht wärmend, trocken, alsdann von Datteln und Feigen begleitet; alles verbleibt angenehm eine gute Weile im Mund, insbesondere die Belohnung des angenehmen Pfeffergeschmackes!

Comments

eine Symphonie: einlullend weich, aber trotzdem charaktervoll komponiert! Der sich verstärkende Pfeffer bildet das Schlussbouquet!
