  1. rb854 scored this whisky 88 points Expert Senior

    Subtle, powerful and full of flavor. Quite nice!
    • Nose
      Subtle peat, sweet, vanilla and caramel, diesel fumes, fruity, dried and red fruit, cola, leather, cinnamon, wood and smoke.
    • Taste
      Smoke and wood, peppery, red fruits, some raisins, lapsang souchong and leather.
    • Finish
      Keeps lingering, lapsang souchong, smoke, red fruit, a whiff of menthol, some sweetness, vanilla.

    • Nose

      First rubbery, then fudgy. Lots of blueberry. Orange as well. Water kind of tears it apart, bringing out some apple but not really beneficial.
    • Taste
      87 87
      Ashy peat with again a lot of blueberry. Caramel as well.
    • Finish
      86 86
      More towards mocha. Orange and a little apple syrup.

  7. Cubey666 scored this whisky 83 points Connoisseur

    Tasted at Whisky in Leiden 2017

    Its a bit too heavy on the wood (dryness) and spiciness, which seems to push the rest away.

    I prefer its bordeaux brother to this one.

  8. HunterRomario scored this whisky 91 points Expert Senior

    I tasted at the Whisky Festival in 2017. This is what I am interested in.
    • Nose
      Great combination of smoked malt and ripening in barrels of red wine. Sweet peat, apple, red fruit, berries, red wine. Sweet gum, eartheniness, earthyness. (91 b)
    • Taste
      It tastes just the way you did it when you sniffed. Again excellent blending of peat and barrels over red wine. (91 b)

  10. Mr.Edradour scored this whisky 91 points Connoisseur

    This is the best of the three new straight from the cask series. I like the Port and Bordeaux type as well, but the Burgundy is my favorit.

    Great nose, rich flavors, full bodied and long finish.

    Brilliant start of this year...
