  1. Schusti_94 scored this whisky 85 points Expert Senior

    Previously had a Royal Brackla 12 in the glass as a reference. Tasty drop, but not really complex. So not worth the 100-110€ in my opinion...
    • Nose
      86 86
      Immediately a dark chocolate comes towards me. The rum pot described here describes the fruit component well. Muddy plum, pickled orange and cherries, plus menthol. Deep, heavy sherry aroma. The alcohol doesn't sting too much. Nice nose but clearly barrel driven. After the first sip then some vanilla, with 3 drops of water grapes and earthy.

      Sweet, tingling on the lips. Orange and strawberry, then wood and some burning on the tongue. Tasty, but less complex. After adding some water, you can feel significantly less alcohol, but I don't notice any new components.

      Departure is long, but after oak tones it is more dominated by the alcohol. This is not optimally integrated here. Much more comfortable with water. The orange fruit is now over the oak.
