Wummy scored this whisky 89 points 
I tasted it during a tasting and was very enthusiastic ... was even more enthusiastic when I could get hold of a bottle of it ... and then came the disillusionment ... not soooo delicious as experienced ... how can that be. First of all, he needs air to breathe ... and secondly (it sounds a bit crazy) he needs a whisky that I taste the smoky ... then this one is a lot more delicious (I recommend the Bowmore 18 in the standard bottling). Try it!
Addition after a few weeks standing 3/4 full bottle: The really needs oxidation and is now getting better if the bottle is not so full. Today keyed again and much better than before ... then I'll probably keep my spare bottle ... (Now 89 instead of 84 points!)

-
Sour red fruits, raisins, dates, leather and pepper in the background, sour apple, light honey fragrance, vanilla, toffee and raspberries (If Bowmore before then felt: great barrel aroma, still significantly sweeter and stronger) ...
-
Pepper, alcohol pushes, honey sweetness and sour apricot, oak .... Addition: now after prolonged oxidation in bottle (one month later) significantly more dark fruits, Scherrysuße, much yummy
-
Honey, oak, dryness in the mouth, espresso (slight pleasant bitterness in the mouth), overall a short finish ... Addition: now after a long period of oxidation much longer finish with additional Scherrynoten and dark fruits, really yummy
