22 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 85.91 points

  1. Mannix65 scored this whisky 83 points Connoisseur

    Young, wild, impetuous, full on the 10 - unfortunately little draft
    • Nose
      Heavy smoke with both campfire and light medical touch, acetic acid, cucumber, unripe gooseberry - in some way "unfinished" in the nose
    • Taste
      the medicinal smoke component topples the campfire, again the "green" notes of unripe fruits, green apples and gooseberries - actually the nose is confirmed in the mouth - metallic, but also very sweet
    • Finish
      lang, rauchig, scharf, süß

    Nice whisky, spirit driven, as expected. i can taste the ardbeg in the development, but it's inturepted by the other malts. It does its name justice, it's farely simple on creamy vinalla citrus fruits and indeed big hits of peat.

  6. dram-drinker scored this whisky 89 points Moderator

    Actually very drinkable and enjoyable
    • Nose
      88 88
      Rather reluctant peat and smoke - reminds me on Caol Ila
    • Taste
      89 89
      Fine peat and smoke, subtle sweetness, little lemony
    • Finish
      90 90
      Medium long, warm, balanced

  7. Kantenmechaniker scored this whisky 86 points Connoisseur

    Rarely had such a vanilla bomb, as expected heavy smoke. A great combo that is fun.
    • Nose
      86 86
      What a clear intense smoke, sweet, slightly sour yellow fruit, vanilla, a classic smoker from ex-bourbon barrels, alcohol well integrated, light spice, a breeze of cinnamon, with time, the smoke is greasy, slightly salty, somehow smoldering, one has the feeling that the glass would burn
    • Taste
      87 87
      full-bodied, intense, the same picture as in the nose, totally sweet, clear vanilla, fierce smoke, yellow fruit, some cinnamon, which is then even stronger, even here, the high alcohol content is not due to unpleasant sharpness
    • Finish
      85 85
      behind hack, the smoke lays dry over everything, vanilla bomb, lingers long and warm

  8. emptycask scored this whisky 88 points Expert Junior

    Perfect winter bottle, can handle a drop of water with ease.

  10. KayMeertens scored this whisky 86 points Connoisseur

    Compared to the very first batch, that sweet Bowmore touch from the nose is gone. Apart from that, they managed to keep the profile very alike. Some of the whisky in there was perhaps a bit too young, but it's still very enjoyable. 85/86.
    • Nose
      Peat, apple, vanilla, pastry, fig, peach and minerals.
    • Taste
      Peat, apple, pepper, nutmeg and something schnapps-y.
    • Finish
      Peat, white bread, apple and pepper.
