delicious to drink, for the age already very balanced

Nose

no movement after pouring: fresh fruity white wine, no alcoholic notes, then nutmeg and slightly sour, pleasant later with movement: malt, the white wine note recedes in the background, slightly sour bread dough, clove and nutmeg, candy note, water note

Taste

Smooth and then sparkling, tingling, pleasant, fruity with malt and sweetness, licorice, cereals, on the palate slightly bitter and wood / chocolate,

Finish

In short, the notes are weak, grain salt and some wood

Promising dram considered the balance of flavours and the harmony of ABV. It is very young and new-makey though.

Nose

78 78

Intensity - 6
Richness - 6,5
Peat smoke, malt, vanilla, smoked fish, banana and a whiff of walnuts.

Taste

70 70

Intensity - 6
Richness - 6
Watery, yet warming mouthfeel.
Black pepper, caramel, dried fruits and some vanilla.

Finish

Surprisingly long with some complexity with tones of dried fruits and caramel.

Appalling - truly awful. Perhaps the worst 'whisky' I have ever tasted, yet priced at more than 10 y/o Springbank or Ardbeg 10!

And yet... if you can get beyond the horror of the arrival, there is some REALLY good spirit here just waiting to get older. But right now - its undrinkable, so how can others possibly give 80 points? are they awarding points for potential?

Nose

Raw new make spirit, rough grappa.

Taste

sharp spirit alcohol drowns out everything.

Finish

Horrid.

This whisky certainly has potential. However, at the age of 3, he is clearly too young for me - so at best average!
[Color] white wine;

Nose

a lot of malt, cereals, lemon, lemone, floral, cold ashtray;

Taste

fruity, sparkling, malty, grainy, cereals, sweetness, woody, smoky, distinct youth;

Finish

short, sweet, fruity finish; peppery, smoky;

Light and disjointed, diluted new make with hints of canned fruits, some sweet malts, but irrelevant. You can nose it hard whole hour and still not getting much out from it. Probably from a batch with high proportion of refill casks. Tart and feather light. Young, short and generic. Certainly needed more "cask time".

What strikes me in this dram is not it's level of maturity, but it's lack of immaturity! There are no distracting elements to be found. And that's for a 3yo! It's sweet and there is a soft sweet Lagavulinish peat coming trough, delightful! It's got aroma's you expect for a young Malt, not complex, but a whole lot of enjoyment factor. Really impressive with this 3yo first mass bottling! I'll be following them for the future for sure!

Still young, not mature and for the price .... well. There may be potential in the distillery, but there still seems to be a long way to go...

I find the nose quite pleasant, but in the mouth it is not mine. Rather unbalanced and too bitter/dry for me.

Nose

Honeyed sweet and grassy, some unripe banana, bread dough, slight freshness, pleasant, warmed some pepper, yellow ripe fruit in the background, spiced peach, vanilla and minimal glue associations

Taste

Rather dry onset, woody, grain, slightly tart, apple, honey only hinted at, salt, quite dry overall, almost bitter, watery, but still quite intense

Finish

slight freshness, woody, as if you had bitten through an apple shell, slightly malty

Nose

82 82

Light smoke, sweet vanilla, pear, spicy and yet complex for 3 years,

Taste

82 82

Spicy, delicate herbal aromas, less sweet than the nose expected. The alcohol is there, but not quite harmonious.

Finish

79 79

Unfortunately much too short, light smoke aroma, subtle fruit, overall very light, sweet note
