That's ok .... but I already had a more intense rum cask finish!

A very interesting whisky, with some really crazy notes. Yes, it's fun to smell and taste it ... a good pastime.

Tasting Notes and Comments by BenRiach;

The BenRiach 18 Years Old Dunder is part of the new heavily peated range. Originally matured in American oak casks, the whisky is then finished in Dark Rum barrels.This intriguing new Speyside expression, from the same range as the BenRiach Albariza and Latada, takes its name from the residue of cane juice left in a still after the distillation of a batch of rum. Traditionally used as a yeast source in the fermentation process of Jamaican rum, it gives the rum a unique aroma and flavour.Bottled at 46%, at natural colour and non chill filtered, 'Dunder' is available on a strictly limited basis.
Nose: Crisp candied peel holds waves of soft peach and ripe banana dusted with Demerara sugar. Delicate rounded peat smoke combines with gentle sweet oak spices. Colour: Summer harvest straw. Taste: Dramtic peat smoke and barley complement crisp citrus zest, white pepper and fresh ginger. Caramelised orchard fruits and dried apricots develop to a rich grassy wood smoke finish.

Yet another new release from BenRiach. Not long ago, they introduced the BenRiach 18 Years Old Albarzia as part of their new ‘heavily peated range’. The even more strictly limited BenRiach 18 Years Old Dunder is the newest addition to this range.

nose: fruit behind delicate smoke
Palate: pear with a slight earthiness. Smoke subtly noticeable at the end some nougat.

It's not quite my taste, but it's okay. You can hardly taste the rum.

Cheers for the great description below me!

I have only a small note to make. What was regarded as a "Fehlnot Komposthaufen" and probably caused a considerable devaluation, that was for me the "certain perverted Something", which made me really for a quite high 86 score. I admit that without the price caps I might have forgiven even more.

Of course, with regard to taste impressions, nobody alone is right or better, they are all "right".
For not only can perception be so different, but also the judgment of what has been broken and made out. And after all, we agree in the taste description "compost pile" yes. * * Bigsmilie

Actually, this malt is a great new release from BenRiach. Disturb me next to the lowered strength and a very distracting at the beginning, slightly volatile alcohol note, which then quickly passes completely different perceptions in this bottling, for which the Malt in itself "nothing":

This is the totally exaggerated hype about this really good bottling, which is by no means as outstanding as it is made.

Evils open up, for example. not only the completely exaggerated "real" price, which is not justifiable by the limitation, belittles me even the higher, but demanded by no means cheapest here deposited price and the behavior of several connoisseurs. In now almost 100 collections, the bottle is available, but apparently there was despite a circulation of at least 1888 bottles, the bottling never somewhere to buy, one goes for the fact that there was not a single shop link - one of several negative side effects, which one in could watch the last months on this great site. Not all will have got the bottle from a friend who kept his source to himself.
This fits the incredibly "crazy" span between the originally called recently price of under or roughly to the 100 euros and now deposited here after only a short time, about twice as high price. Such a price development, for a quite often bottled, reduced to 46% "finish" ten-year-olds, which can be safely reissued by the distillery (and in this success will probably be reissued) that's just in my eyes Sick.
Slightly less overheating and more serenity would do us all good across all countries and markets at the moment. I do not take it out myself, but I can not resist this word for Sunday. Pardon.
