141 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 84.87 points

  1. EinSpatzUnterVielen scored this whisky 85 points Expert Senior

    You can taste the 3 year finish in the Oloroso barrel, the darkest is sweet and very fruity. The Bowmore Lemon and the Smoke nicely balance each other with the Oloroso flavors. I think it's delicious. Only the color does not have to be. Good PLV.
    • Nose
      slight sulfur at the first sniffing, but this flies almost completely after 2 minutes, mild campfire smoke, sweet raisins, dark chocolate, vanilla, plum jam with cinnamon, leather, sweet tobacco, maritime touch
    • Taste
      sweet, orange, blackberries, dark chocolate, glides over in espresso, in the background the Bowmore lemon, leather, maggi, burnt popcorn, caramel, vanilla, dark cherries, red apples, salt, pepper, cinnamon, roasted hazelnuts. Gets sweeter and more fruity with each sip, pepper continues to build up.
    • Finish
      sweet and spicy, warming, orange, lemon, campfire smoke becomes a little stronger, apples and blackberries, vanilla is stronger, then still ripe banana appears; in the end something menthol

  2. pdby scored this whisky 87 points Expert Junior

    Powerful, but delicate, with black berries, nuts, smoked meat, prunes and raisins in the aroma, the taste is soft, dry with nuances of black berries and spicy spices with nuts, the finish is wooden and pepper, a bit bitter.
    Great sherry peat bog. The barrel lay on the soft Boumorovskuyu ayla just fine.

    RATING: 87pts - [n21, t22, f22, b22] → | 86-89: Remarkable |

  3. Marko_I did not rate this whisky Connoisseur

    As always a treat - great whisky for 50 €.
    • Nose
      overripe red grapes, dark chocolate, latte, some nutmeg, mild, sweetish smoke
    • Taste
      strong and full-bodied, the smoke is a bit clearer than in the nose, ashen, burnt sponge cake, goes in dark chocolate with a touch of blackberry / blackcurrant over
    • Finish
      long, warm, dry, bittersweet, pepper, dark chocolate, a light reminder of herb bitters and black berry fruit liqueur

  4. HammerHead scored this whisky 83 points Expert Senior

    Nose is pretty interesting with some toffee, caramel, speculaas (cinnamon, nutmeg) and a little smoke, although it's also a bit 'artificial' and lacks some power. This absence of power becomes all the more clear in the taste and development. It just tastes very thin. This should have been bottled at a much higher strength (i.e. 50+%), and preferably without chill filtering and colouring.
    Finish is quite ok, with a lot of dark chocolate and sherry fruits and a little smoke.

  5. Gloin scored this whisky 89 points Expert Senior

    • Nose
      some smoke, red fruits, sherry
    • Taste
      little smoke, red fruits, sherry, pleasant sweetness, less creamy than Laga DE
    • Finish
      long, dry on the palate and on the tongue, sweet in the throat

  6. herby.usa scored this whisky 84 points Expert Junior

    Nose: dark raisins, perfume notes, sweet, meadow and hay, light maritime notes, sherry sweetness, subtle smoke, fine cinnamon spice.
    Taste: Peppery start, a hint of ash, vanilla, strong spice and a sweet aftertaste. Pleasantly mild on the palate.
    Finish: short, pleasantly mild and yet spicy.

  9. Lorion scored this whisky 66 points Expert Senior

    The nose is fascinating. The palate takes some getting used to and the finish is unspectacular. The nose saves it to 66 points. Too bad the palate is bad.
    • Nose
      89 89
      Winey, dark fruit smoke. It is an aromatic smoke, not a trace of ashy or medicinal. Red Apple. The smoke is so subtle that it just spices something. Milk chocolate. With a little time, fruit acid is added. Some star anise. A hint of sour wood shines through. Herbs.
    • Taste
      48 48
      The start is a bit thin. There is creamy chocolate. There is dry tobacco. There are cherries. All of this is great, unfortunately something is lacking in strength. The tasting is strange. Extremely sour, even uncomfortable for a moment. Then a little more pleasant dry tobacco comes to the fore. But it remains uncomfortable.
    • Finish
      60 60
      Rather short. Tart, fruity, subtly bitter.
