Notes & Reviews

Dramnation

posted 28 Aug. 2012

Dramnation gave this whisky 86 points

Color

Burnt umber

Nose

Full fruity aromas (prumes on alcohol) and heavy sherry aromas (oloroso). Indeed a firm nose!

Taste

A viscous and syrup-like mouthfeel. At the beginning (the attack) a full and powerful blow to the taste buds. What a whisky! Sherry banging around the mouth.

Finish

Long, warm and spicy (pepper).

Comments

Pfff, this is not a whisky to be taken lightly. Sit down and relax. It's a sherry bomb and that takes some getting used to. If you ever will....

I Love the power of Aberlour! It has great taste of sherry and fruits.
This also is a powerful scotch so I don`t recommend it to new whisky
users. It is good to gain a palate that recognizes the difference
between cask strength and some that are less ABV like 40% or 43%.

Remember it\'s maturity that makes whisky great! That\'s why I Love The Glenrothes!

Color

Burnt umber

Nose

Sweet and fruity, nice tofee and a bit of chocolate.

Taste

Heavy and oily, spicy sherry with some fruity notes (maybe red berries), in the background a hint of smoke.

Finish

A long and creamy finish, warm and sweet.

Comments

I agree with Raz Mazunga, a'bunadh is heavy stuff and it really comes better in the nose after a while in the glass, or you pour some water in.

Maybe your right, let the angel share do the work (A). What tasting notes do you have when the drink is at his best?

Maybe you really don't like this whisky but I think you just have to give the whisky some time to breathe before you stick your nose in the glass. The lighter alcohols will have disappeared after 5 to 10 minutes taking the plastics away too.
