  1. dRambo scored this whisky 91 points Connoisseur

    The nose is rather elegant - it is rather restrained but you can lose yourself in it, delicious, very complex and lively - but also persistent.
    I really like the nose
    • Nose
      92 92
      sweet and enticingly fruity nose, dried mango, pineapple, crushed banana, vanilla, coconut cream, orange peel, orange oil, dried dates and figs, sweetened black tea, oak with sugar crust, delicate wax note, birch water, oatmeal cookies, some tobacco, roasted nuts, furniture polish
    • Taste
      90 90
      very nice oily, first soft then it explodes - without alcoholic - very ripe mango, melon, papaya, very ripe pineapple, light bitter substances de very well integrated and rather spicy, grapefruit peel, tingling, salt, pastry, aniseed, tobacco, slightly dry and pleasantly spicy - easy to chew with a nice aroma development, it flattens off rather quickly
    • Finish
      90 90
      creamy, herbal - herbaceous spicy, kohlrabi, green tree bark of young branches, rosemary acerbity, tingling, salty, wax and bright fresh oak

    disappointing. it seems that the release was spilled in the wake of the success of the 1973 spacesides, but it is not even close to them. Simple drinking whisky is enough, the nose is good, but then the failure is significant, there is not enough body and depth
    • Nose
      89 89
      delicate cream, dried fruits, caramel and raisins, spices, raw nuts, barberry
    • Taste
      88 88
      unripe tangerines, wood, cream and some tobacco
    • Finish
      88 88
      citruses, bitter dark chocolate, some spices and oak

    Say what, 386 bottles and 386 separate bottle designs?!

    N: Fruits over a floury/mash, ginger into pine, a touch of spice,… Becomes [relatively] sweeter on opening up.
    T: Narrow spice – wood-dry. Texturally breadier with water,… consolidated citrus rind.
    F: Oak-dry citrus, flour.
    C: Forget distillery or even region, and enjoy it for what it is – a great opener to this expectant and joyous extravaganza.

    • Nose
      Elegant. Rose petals, honey and some vanilla. Stone wall. Behind sultanas and apricots. A touch of rosemary.
    • Taste
      Sweet, slightly sparkling. Apricots, nectarines, almonds. A trace of wax. White pepper. Orange Lemonade. A little thin at the end.

    Birthday Session 1.1 - Tasted Blind

    90-91

    Quite a nice nose on citrus, mustard seeds, bergamot, turpentine. Palate is even better, juicy, great balance between a relative complexity and a very high drinkability. Superb citrus fruits again, pomelo, celeriac, thuja, a touch of waxed exotic fruits, and finishes on coke with a lemon twist, that last note growing bigger and bigger. The nose would just keep on getting better and better in the empty glass afterwards, which suggests this could score higher with more time (both in the open bottle and in the glass).

    Nose: a fruit cocktail, which unfolds very restrained. No stinging in the nose, so you can linger forever with your nose on the glass.
    Grated orange peel, light sweetness of toffee / marzipan - after a while a light wax in the nose. The sweet is still present in the background.

    Taste: As in the nose at the beginning of the reserved, then the orange peel, as if you would chew on sugared orange peel. The slightly bitter note of the orange combined with the sweetness is just brilliantly balanced. No alcohol noticeable, as if you were eating a fruit cocktail. To the orange still overripe grapefruit and honeydew melon.

    Finish: too short for my taste, here would probably have done a few more percent well. A touch of spice, the second sip more clear, but unfortunately a little too short. But that was just so well balanced that you would like to have taken the exit a bit longer.

    from me today 90 points, delicious yummy.

  18. Kalleholzbein scored this whisky 89 points Expert Senior

    In the nose, light sweetness, oak and herbs, no very intense nose, yet very pleasant. Cool and sweet in the mouth, somewhat restrained, possibly due to the 45.2%. Short not very intense finish. Good whisky, but no bargain.

    Each bottle of this special bottling bears its own hand-painted label (no print, no copy) by Scottish artist Ronnie Cruwys.
    • Nose
      Tropical fruits, mangos, pineapple, passion fruit, ripe lemons, with honey, vanilla, nut nougat cream
    • Taste
      Sweet, but also immediately spicy, roasted hazelnuts, herbal tea, aniseed, salted caramel and raisins
    • Finish
      Malty, spicy, with fruit bread, herb sweets and pepper
