Nose
Based on sampling at a friend's. The sherry's heavier than in 12,15 or 18yo OBs, and covers the alcohol very well even when nosing it undiluted. The smell is deeper than A'bunadh's, and I'd guess this is a PX cask [not entirely correct, turns out it's a vatting of Oloroso and PX]. Nosed neat: A bit of nail polish, not much wood. Dates, sugar, and something a bit fatty which I guess will round out with water. Neat it's just too punchy so I'll add 2 teaspoons of water. Now there's the smell of fresh paint from a metal can followed by a bit of dough, wet clay, and for some odd reason I'm reminded of the smell of unwrapping the kind of a hamburger you'd get from a grill stand at 4am. It is a very good nose, very even and well defined.
Taste
This one can and should take a lot of water. It's a total waste as long as the mouth stays vicious and burning but water opens it up. And what a body it is now: soft, but neither slick nor silky. Rather it's like plush on tongue and very, very juicy. Dark chocolate, liquorice and a good dose of sherry in a very condensed, powerful hit.
Finish

Delightfully lasting and full compared to Glendronach 12,15, 18 or 21. The way it lingers is very satisfying.

Comments

In my opinion more impressive than Batch 2. Not as good as the best single casks but still deserves recognition as a high quality malt.

Nose

Мощная волна сладких сухофруктов - изюма, кураги, лимонные корки, мята, ароматный трубочный табак, даже скорее деревянная коробка в которой хранились разные сорта табака и их запахи смешались с запахом дерева, шоколад. Прекрасный калейдоскоп запахов, то один то другой аромат выходят на передний план, сменяют друг друга, усиляются, затухают, всё очень концентрировано, крепость ощущается, но не мешает, а как бы подчёркивает мощь - наслаждаться можно очень долго. Отлично.

Taste

Горечь дуба, корок грейпфрута со сладостью сухофруктов (изюм преобладает), мощно, слитно, великолепно, нет желания разбирать и анализировать составляющие, хочется просто наслаждаться, прекрасный баланс, идеальная крепость.

Finish
Продолжение вкуса, горько-сладкая симфония сухофруктов и дуба, лёгкая перечность/имбирность, сливочные ириски, варёная сгущёнка, долгое, приятно освежающее.


Comments
Великолепный образец виски, потрясающий аромат и вкус, идеальный баланс, ярко выраженный характер, вменяемая цена - must have. К сожалению, батч 2 не поддержал высокую планку, так что если есть возможность - не упустите.

Nose

Vůně je těžká, hodně do sherry. Povidla (že by vliv PX?). Koření, čokoláda. Ostrost alkoholu, štiplavost, trochu větrová, lívance a fíky. (93 b)

Taste

Hodně sladká, plná, silná. Sušené švestky. Fíky, datle. Sladce kořenitá, hodně skořice. Celkově jde o výbornou whisky. (93 b)

Finish

Alkohol tipuju okolo 55%. Vypadá to na Skotsko, oblast bych dal Highland, pravděpodobně single cask řada od GlenDronachu, věk bych hádal 22 yo. Maximálně, jestli je to chyták, tak by to mohl být ještě Amrut Spectrum.

Comments

Toto jsou poznámky ze slepého testu, který nám na letošním Whiskyfestivalu připravil Senoy. Patří mu velký dík za výbornou ochutnávku. Moje druhá ochutnávka této whisky dopadla s odstupem pár let výborně.

[March, 2013]  Together with friends I emptied a bottle that I bought for 52 Euro in February, 2013.

In my old rating system (ten scales that translate into WB points: 50 - 66 - 75 - 80 - 82,5 - 85 - 87,5 - 90 - 92,5 - 95) I scored it 87,5.  My notes state a perfect modern style sherried dram with no flaws.  Very quaffable...

There is no accounting for taste...

Rowan jam, arrack-punch, raisins, dates, some cherries and chocolate-fudge.

Taste

Sweet and luscious, toffee, cherries, something parfumy, stingy-sweet and sour. Very nice.

Middle long and sweet with fruity toffee.

Comments

This is quite okay, though I like the heavily sherried single casks much more.
