    23/22/22.5/22.5 90!
    • Nose
      (N 23) rounded but at the same time sonorous, crunchy, I would not think that it is a barrel. The aroma is reminiscent of the Arran brothers with burnt plastic, the bourbon barrel worked well, giving off the aroma of maple syrup, Floral, slightly soapy aroma, flows into green apples, canned pineapple. It makes you feel that the holiday is coming soon and you bought canned pineapples, and when you get in the fridge mom will give you a shout: do not touch it for the guests! Light polish, lemons in a cellophane bag. And you leave the store and chew the mattress from Roshen, somewhere in the neighboring village brought smoke from the gardens.
    • Taste
      (T 22) grilled pineapple (did not eat? Very tasty thing) smoky, plastic, candy, iodine light, nut peel, almond macaroni with vanilla meringue
    • Finish
      (F 22.5) a subtle moment that should not be missed when milk chocolate with a dose of perfume flows into nut praline, dry finish, slightly smoky, oak vanilla.

    Balance (22.5)
    Wonderful molt. (90)
    • Nose
      The aroma is lollipops, pineapples, vanilla and ice cream on the floor of the cowshed ... a faint aroma of warm marmalade with a dead mouse. Wax and butter with salt. Dry wood with banana peel (23)
    • Taste
      Watery fruits, vanilla, smoke, wax and minerality (22,5)
    • Finish
      Fruit, smoky finish. Fruits with cream, dark chocolate, spicy, spicy ... a little dust from the fireplace (22)

    Unlike the majority, for some reason, my nose did not open in all its glory, but the taste played 100% and generally would say 80-90% blindly that Ardmo.
    Very tasty, thanks to everyone involved in this release.

    Unusual, interesting nuances, with a wonderful development of whisky. Drinks well, consistent at all stages. You will not break away. Well done, Maestro!

  6. Kovalyoff scored this whisky 90 points Expert Senior

    Blender's Glass.
    The aroma develops in the glass gradually ... 20 minutes is enough. As for me, very unusual Arran. Anyway, I would never say it was Arran. The aroma is based on dry wood, attic dust and lacquer notes ... A little vanilla and hay ... light fire smoke ... 22
    There is definitely a light smoke in the taste ... no, even a whole smoked fish, but remotely ... Sea malt in taste! Salt, minerality ... 23
    Lasting aftertaste, medium duration ... varnish, ash, wood, vanilla and salt ... 23
    Balance 22.
    Total: 90
