Violets? This sounds like a 1980s Bowmore (Germany: 449 EUR);

And didn't we notice a Peat's Beast 34y with ex-Cognac-finish, too? Another Bowmore? (Price around 350 EUR) https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/159814

PR material:

"Nose: Intense flowery with the aroma of Parma Violet Drops and jasmine. Clear notes of furniture polish, lemon peel and laundry drying in the fresh air contrast with the smoky character of flamed sage.

Palate: An alpine garden in summer: delicate violet blossoms mix with woody and resinous notes of juniper, pine and rosemary. Slightly tangy and warming like a champagne cocktail with grapefruit juice and rose syrup.

Finish: Refreshing, herbaceous notes of dried mint, eucalyptus, rosemary and fresh coriander leaves are balanced with the sweetness of lavender perfume and candied fennel seeds. "

A wonderful whisky. Cognac cask finish compliments the vintage islay peat gorgeously.

Colour: Amber

Nose: Sage. Subtle citrus notes with sweetness. Peat but very subdued & infused. A bit of this trio - camphor, menthol & eucalyptus but very subtle. As the name suggests there’s those wild flowers on the nose. Some moist lavender notes.
Palate: The cognac cask influence is not overwhelming. That grapey, winey flavour has infact become very floral and sweet. Peat is subtle and lovely. Little bit of brandy notes. Aged oak, caramel custard, a bit of rose powder with lilac, lavender floral notes. Complex. Not heavy but mild and gentle. The lower ABV is so lovely.

Finish: Gorgeous finish. Mild peat, sweetness, some herbal notes which starts off bitter but fades, menthol and lavender.

A complex dram. Cognac cask finish has worked quite well. Pricey but a superb 33yo that’s so savoury.

Floral but heavy. More like behind Grandma in church. Once again she didn't skimp on the sweet scent because she can no longer smell sensible.

So yes: violets, but also lavender, plus lilac, butterfly bush and cedarwood moth balls. Open the oak cupboard, take out the old stole ... slightly musty. It's actually quite interesting, the whole thing. Not one to take off when screaming, but full of pictures. A storyteller for the nose.

After a good time in the glass: more oak, more vanilla, less violets on the nose.

On the palate again violets ... oily ... then sweet oak spice ... somewhat one-dimensional in the taste profile for the age and the price.

Is that soapy? Tastes more like violet pastilles ... artificial ... violet mouse bacon! But no smoke.

In the finish: sweet, then a hearty bite in a chipboard. Violets again at the end.

So: exciting nose, average taste, unique finish. I can drink it well, but it would be more like a 60 euro bottle.

Nose: Yes, violets and lavender - Grandma's closet and mothballs. Did I let the name influence me? Without announcing what it is, the glass is handed to the better half: "Uhh, what's that? Cheap perfume, mothballs".
With a little time in the glass herbs - sage, thyme. Bowmore smoke often has something "perfumed" for me, which I also find here, with a sweetish floral note. I find some eucalyptus, incense sticks, some liquorice (Dutch). Damp linen. At first I don't notice anything clear in my nose from the cognac barrel.

Mouth:
First of all, the first few seconds in the mouth are dominant violets, lavender. With a little time in the mouth, there is a subtle ash note. Some thyme, some acacia honey. Lavender candy, and that remains the dominant aroma.

Finish:
Lavender and violets. subtle wood tones. light incense and ash notes.

80/100

Conclusion: For me this is an aroma that does not belong in a whisky in terms of intensity and which I therefore see as a false note. It is not undrinkable, but there is no pleasure either. The alcohol is well integrated, the oak is not too dominant, that would be positive points that I would mention.
