I don't want to judge the PLV. So-so. But it's a good standard and fruity whisky too. All the key data are good, but we won't become friends. Sorry

Nose

Sweet red fruit basket in advance. The port notes are not neglected either. Hopefully the palate will keep what the nose promises.

Taste

Unfortunately, the port does not come through here. Pity ! Woody notes with cooked fruit. In the background there are still cider notes. Tender chocolate raisins with light fruits. For me violently sharp on the tongue. Is that the alcohol? ... or the wood?

Finish

Rather long with a bitterly sweet ending. Coffee in an oak cup with recurring fruit in honey.

The nose is exhausted relatively quickly, but the portnotes are unmistakable, all in all delicious, but a little flat and not very well integrated (like so many port malts), nice easy-drinking malt with lots of fruit from start to finish, good PLV.

Nose

fruity, first raspberries, currants, plum compote with cinnamon, dark chocolate, later nice fresh wood, vanilla and viiel peach, leather, peanut sauce

Taste

watery-silky, slightly alcoholic, lots of peach, peach melba, peach jam, cotton candy, popcorn with caramel, vanilla, pepper, orange, lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg, walnut, dark chocolate in coffee, cinnamon rolls, applesauce

Finish

medium-length, fast-drying, pepper, coffee notes and peach, then blueberries, black currants, blackcurrant leaves, whole light bitterness (like fresh blackcurrants from the shrub), oranges, walnut, porridge, fresh bread with redcurrant jelly

doesn't make me nervous but okay

Nose

künstlich süß
nach gefärbtem Marzipanbrot mit künstlichen Aromen
und nach Brotteig und Hefe

Taste

ein weicher Antritt auf der Zunge Alkohol Schokolade und wieder Marzipan, Brotteig dann Frucht und immer wieder Alkohol...

Finish

der Abgang leicht bitter und etwas Frucht wieder Alkohol

On the nose as well as palate reminds me of a fruit compote, with a mix of dried fruits, prunes, but also apple and raisin. Fairly good mix of sweet and tart. Caramel and some pencil shavings. Reserved with a fairly short finish.

For me one of my secret favorites and for an affordable price.
Although I can understand if some don't like him as much as I do.

Nose

This is where opinions differ most often! For some, the aroma seems too artificial. For me, however, it is a beautiful and seductive fragrance that develops in the glass over time. Different red fruits are ensnared with that certain something. For me it is a mixture of marzipan and the scent of a grape sugar lollipop. After a while I also discover some vanilla.

Taste

88 88

The red fruits are very present here and at the same time barrel flavor is noticeable. Nothing here seems artificial or watery to me.

Finish

The fruit vibrates for a while and then gives off the slightly acidic wood note. The whole thing lingers for a medium to long time.

Nose: overcooked, overripe strawberries and raspberries, noticeable alcohol, slightly sulphurous (from the distillate or barrel?), Slightly woody. With more time to breathe: more wood and a few light spices.

On the tongue: strong onset, slightly spicy-pricklig, then juicy-sweeter, followed by warm woody notes, then tart until bitter coffee, to the end noticeably bitter.

Finish: Bitter. Not much else.

Conclusion: inexperienced. For a supposedly "soft" Highlander with sweetish-sweet Port wine influences a pretty rough number.

Taste three times, always blind. I tipped the sherry bar, I did not recognize the port, I guess the alcohol for the first time 46%, the second time 48% and the last 50%. I wondered if it was anything from Glenfiddich, Tomatin did not attack me. I sat a lot and I tasted.

Nose

Pleasant scent, a lot of fruit (scented apricots, orange), a little nuts, and then light woody muddy or even smoky sherry style. (87 b)

Taste

Taste goes a lot in sherry style. Full, rich and pleasant, sweet, fruity, richly sparkling. Velvety flavor, with fruity acidity. (91 b)
