Young, crisp, tasty and intense. just the thing for a cozy evening with friends to bring some maritime feeling in the tasting. Absolutely cool PLV and my new favorite standard in the 10Y range.

Nose

86 86

Fresh and salty, great maritime notes, slightly spicy smoke (reminiscent of Talisker), fresh malt, lemon juice, flowery sweetness (slight perfume note), subtle pepper from the oak.
Simply and simply great - for me a great Talisker replacement (this picks me up with its current quality just not more)

Taste

84 84

creamy and fresh, vanilla, salt water, lychee juice, lots of pepper and light oak bitterness. Smoke is almost gone. Again, without much depth but absolutely intense and still tasty.

Finish

88 88

Now the oak is becoming more and more dominant, lemon zest and salt, pepper and malty sweetness. At the very end, there is some smoke added to the oak. Warm, long, intense and delicious.

Without having to struggle in the barrel with his 10 years, he makes a very confident appearance and gets the best out of the ex-bourbon barrel. Crystal-clear Campbeltown profile, plus a good dose of smoke and a varied play of aromas from the nose to the finish. What more could you want.

Nose

Fresh, clear, mildly fruity and salty - everything at the same time, everything at the beginning. Rising sea feeling with salty spray, beach grass, rose hips, damp stone. In the distance, the smoke of a campfire. A very direct nose, you can find an access immediately

Taste

Starts vigorously and remains as fresh and refreshing as the nose already suggested. Freshly cut apricots, lemon juice, grapefruit meat. A hint of smoke. Creamy caramel, espresso beans. Still creamy at the beginning, it dries up over time. The initially restrained smoke note increases in intensity, accompanied by shavings of freshly cut oak logs. (Cayenne) pepper, chervil and savory. Tart herbs.

Finish

Lingers on the tongue for a surprisingly long time. Mineral like the colleagues from Springbank, but with a pleasantly spicy smoky note, slices of lime and bitter herbs.

Taste

Excellent whisky considering the price. Balanced, tasty, with nice fruits-smoke integration, it shows the best sides of the ex-bourbon maturation. Complexity is missing but this isn’t what you’re looking for here. A nice daily dram option for peat lovers.

Nose

Excellent ex-bourbon nose: fresh, vivid, with tons of lemons seasoned with vanilla Also green apples and some pear notes.. Soft smoke, light woody notes with some minerality, light grassy motives. Light spiciness in a form of peppers

Taste

Peppery (ground black pepper), tad sweet, apple mash, barley cereals, some herbal notes, light saltiness, iodine, soot, lemon zest

Finish

Quite long, beautifully woody with some bitterness, cold ashes, nutty feeling, sweet lemon curd with vanilla touch

Great standard. Super good PLV.

Nose

Fine peat puff. A beautiful light sweetness is well integrated. Vanilla. Maritime and fresh. Flowery overtones.

Taste

Mild, creamy. Pleasantly aromatic. Smoke on the palate. Vanilla. Still fresh and maritime. Nice flavor on the tongue.

Finish

Medium long, pleasantly spicy.

Color gold

Nose. Phenol! Iodine! This is what it must feel like to be mummified alive in gauze bandages. In addition to smoke, I would probably guess a few nuts, maybe also cloves. Violent Smoke Medicine Board!

On the palate, a game by everyone involved in the nose. Iodine-smoked caramel mixes with it.

Finish: long, warm, smoky.

In principle great material, good PLV, you can also buy a second time. Not interesting enough for a higher score. But it's definitely fun.

The little smoker

Nose

85 85

Neat ex-bourbon fruit with an intense medicinal smoke note, not very complex but nicely balanced

Taste

79 79

quite velvety and oily, everything carried by the cold smoke, unfortunately strong wood tones with bitter notes come through

Finish

75 75

The finish unfortunately only remains tannic with smoke in the background, unfortunately not my aromas
