16 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 87.25 points

  1. LDB scored this whisky 88 points Connoisseur

    Great nose - and also great in the mouth with its oiliness and smoked bacon. It takes a while in the glass, then it has a great balance.
    • Nose
      89 89
      Slight sweaty note, peculiar sweetish-pungent note at first, but then a pleasant spice prevails - beef jerk, salty pig ears, etc. - and finally a berry note, blueberries, blackberries at the campfire.
    • Taste
      88 88
      Oily, smoky, salty and greasy, with an underlying sweetness.
    • Finish
      87 87
      Very long for 6 years.

  2. dRambo scored this whisky 87 points Connoisseur

    without the age I would probably rather on 10yo + typed - round tasty thing, a lot of volume, not overly complex - but positively easily accessible
    • Nose
      88 88
      round strong nose without stinging alcohol note, licorice, gauze bandage, shredded dough, vanilla, cigarette ash, spray
    • Taste
      87 87
      Powdered sugar, plum compote, strawberry, mint, liquorice, salty - really well interwoven - toasted oak,

  3. DerDennis! scored this whisky 88 points Specialist

    It takes a lot of time and air. Very extreme flavors and takes a lot of getting used to. Fried bacon with smoke. Salty and extremely spicy.

  4. mothers_finest scored this whisky 89 points Expert Senior

    A no-brainer at the issue price! But I'm too late ...

    Rauch and Port is just a combination that I like exceptionally well, including this one - even if it is comparatively young.

    The finish drops off a bit, possibly due to the age, the malt shows its strengths on the palate through the thump and the smoke. The complexity (or the length) in the finish falls by the wayside ...

  8. Carlos scored this whisky 90 points Expert Senior

    Very good price-value ratio, nice combination between smokyness and the red fruits from the port cask.

  11. Dramming Dutchman scored this whisky 87 points Connoisseur

    The nose did not give me clues what to expect in taste and finish but I like the taste which is sweet and smokey and the finish has some spices on the sides of the tongue. Very nice dram to my opinion, 87 points overall.

  16. JungleDram scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    Solid, 54.8% vol was never felt at all. He came almost light and mild therefore, for me from the profile comparable to a Caol Ila 25, even if there is a very clear age difference here.
