  1. EinSpatzUnterVielen scored this whisky 84 points Expert Senior

    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

    I do not want to judge the PLV. So la. But it's a good standard and also fruity whisky. All the basic data are good, but we will not become friends. Sorry.

      Sweet red fruit basket in advance. The port notes are not too short. Hopefully the palate holds its nose.

      Unfortunately, the port does not come through here. Pity ! Woody notes with cooked fruit. Still cider notes in the background. Delicate chocolate raisins with bright fruits. For me, sharp on the tongue. Is that the alcohol? ... or the wood?
    • Finish
      82 82
      Rather long with a bitter sweet end. Coffee in an oak cup with recurring cooked fruit in honey.

  5. Totoro scored this whisky 73 points Connoisseur

    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.

  6. HunterRomario scored this whisky 89 points Expert Senior

    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)

    The actual color is rosé but that is not available - anyhow I would expect a rather sweet and fruity whisky from a port cask but this one is really different - very maritime and actually fishy - strange
    • Nose
      Seabreeze, seaweed, sea shells, smoked salmon - not much else to smell as this is very strong
    • Taste
      Rosé wine, salty, seaweed again but a bit less than on the nose, little fruitiness, a bit smoky
    • Finish
      Medium long, zesty, grapefruits
