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.

Nose

84 84

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

Taste

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.

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)

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

The nose and the finish are above the taste itself, somewhat one-sided and flat unfortunately and not as portly as the nose but worked.

Nose

At least one forms out the port, a beautiful medium-bright fruitiness of red apple, some floral and buttery sweetness, the port barrels often have together. In between, a bit of something alcoholic, yellow plums, cherry, honey melon, but sounds far more full of everything as it affects the nose

Taste

Honey melon, some pepper, green apple rather, cinnamon, marzipan, light nuts, sweet malt, a little lemon, a little metallic / alcoholic

Finish

Sweet malt, beautiful apple peel and astringent citrus notes on oak, nice, medium long
