Had this 1oz sample last night, and I’m surprised to learn its 59%. Wow, drinks great for that abv, I would have guessed 50%.

Really nice harmony between spirit and cask here. Lots of Ledaig funky, woolen, barnyard, minerality, with also a nice sweetness from the cask. Not too sweet, but a nice desert wine element. Apricots, pear, peach, golden raisins, pineapple. Really good.

Absolutely nothing about this whisky is modest.

Nose

87 87

Neat the alc is a little agressive on the nose.
Sweet and a tiny bit sour dark fruit.
Peaty, heavy smoked ham, mineral.
Some citrus, maybe grapefruit.

Taste

90 90

Heavy, creamy and oily. Almost breath taking.
Peaty and very salty.
Some sweet notes midway, caramel and jelly.
Earthy wood notes, or maybe it's spicy soil?

Finish

89 89

This is a long finish... and a bold one as well.
Drying and slightly bitter at the very end.

Amontillado is an Andalusian Sherry, produced in the Montilla region since the 18th century. Without going into detail that I do not control, the Amontillado is produced on a Fino base that will mutate 'abnormally' whose contact with the air is very limited to avoid rapid oxidation. It can also become Amontillado thanks to an additional fortification of alcohol, going from about 13% to 17% and finishing its maturation in old oak barrels. It is thus classified halfway between a Fino and an Olorosso, developing notes of wood, dried fruit and tobacco. The combination of these barrels and the peated whisky produced by the Tobermory distillery works particularly well. This is my taste anyway, as for the port casks in general. www.passionduwhisky.com

Nose

Nose: fat and voluptuous peat as Ledaig can do. Leave him a few minutes to calm his ardor and you will receive tobacco, candied oranges, a minty presence, or pine. Milky caramel. The aeration will introduce the following, namely salt.

Taste

Palate: This peat brings with it a massive dose of salt, it's impressive this instant domination. Overall it's Ledaig in all its splendor, with horses under the hood. Then we will touch something more fat, fruity, always with orange marmalade, a set of small black fruits. It's still very powerful.

Finish

Final: The salt will persist, the peat will be more medicinal, with also elder syrup, berries and other small black fruits. Tobacco smoke. Camphor.

Very juicy and pushy, it is very young, but attractive with its spontaneity and fervor, if you are not afraid of light, but ubiquitous rubber motifs.

Nose

An open, humid, smoke-peaty notes in the frame of raisins and wilted grapes, a leather jacket smelling of fire, smoked salmon, a cordite cord, new tires.

Taste

Powerful, saturated, charcoal, peat, sweet raisin-confectionery notes, berry jam, young bark, rubber, burnt biscuits, plastic.

Finish

Spicy, smoky-peat, warming, berry jam on burnt toast, ginger, lemon candied fruits, nuts, a little rubber.

Delicious. Just delicious. Obviously you should not be a smoker, but otherwise a wonderfully pleasant dram for the romantic campfire evening has been achieved.

Nose

Immediately poured and left to rest immediately show plums wrapped in bacon directly from the neat smoky charcoal grill combined with a light lemons. Ten minutes in the glass, as usual with cask strength, add more odors, this time salt, caramel and sulfur, which all but tend to stay in the background and have to be sniffed hard.

Taste

Speckiger, round oak smoke, honey, salt and hazelnuts bring directly a veritable explosion of taste in the oral cavity, which is very easy to drink despite everything. On the way then fat oak, sweet blackberry jam and green, semi-ripe apples noticeable. With water, it is even smoother.

Finish

The prunes wrapped in bacon from the nose come with a good portion of oak smoke and stick to the palate for a long time. The still slightly sour apples and hazelnuts are also there and provide despite the plum sweetness for a pleasant dryness in the mouth.

Taste

Fun with something different than Oloroso and PX. I found it to be a little bit more dry and with more nuts

Nose

Red fruits and soft smoke, sweetness and floral fruits, nuts and strawberry and i little hint of lemon.

Taste

Smoke and pepper, then some bitter orange, Sherry dryness with a nuttyness

Finish

Sweet and dry with some ash.
