One of the best 12 years I’ve tried. Better than many 18-21 year scotches I’ve tried. Lovely complexity. Will buy again.

Uno de los mejores 12 años que he probado. Sherry en perfecta sintonía con el bourbon cask. Sedoso, impregna todo el velo del paladar un trago dulce y largo con el picante Justo.
Nose
Sherry, sultanas, algo de umbría marítima, vainilla, crema pastelera, algo de Brandy, como un crepe flambeado con vino dulce. Se nota denso pero equilibrado.
Palate
El trago es cálido pero nada alcoholico. El paladar se impregna de dulzura de dátiles, pasas y frutas oscuras, un toque salino que realza más el dulzor. Galletas de canela, vainilla, clavo. Algo de chocolate negro con pasas. Este trago es un poema
Finish
El final es largo y permanece el picor y el dulzor como un ligero hormigueo en lengua y paladar que lo deja a uno con ganas de más. La boca saliva y me pide acompañarlo con algo de chocolates negros con fritos secos. Impresionante whisky

46 40 айла ? Это точно айла? Ничего морского и даже почти ничего дымного. Запах скорее цветочный, потом взрыв вкуса и уход в сторону приятной полынной горчинки, чёрного молотого перца. Да оригинально, да хорошо пьется, но интенсивности не хватает. Кремовость присутствует. Для 12 довольно мягкий, но восторгов не понимаю. Поставил 81 , но редбрест может с ним потягаться.

Das ist ein sehr guter Whisky mit Sherry, Malz, Honig, Zitrusfrüchte, leicht floral und leicht nach Rauch riechender und schmeckender Whisky. Zum drüberstreuen noch eine Briese vom Meer. Für mich sehr gelungen und überraschend intensive.

I dont think it is bad, but I generally dont like kind of whisky. It has kind of interesting end, but smell and taste is strange to me. Worst Islay destinnery.

Didn't particularly fancy the 46% alcohol which is on the high side and producing too fiery a taste.

Nose

Palate
Pepper and heat. Subtle oak flavours
mrmerengui says on August 24, 2018
General description
Very nice dram with a fantastic, mysterious sherry nose that falls a bit behind on the palate. Altogether a great entry level Scotch.
Nose
Dark fruits with plums, black cherries, spicy with cinnamon, black pepper and nutmeg. Also a nice nuttyness. Very pleasing, sweet and ripe.
Palate
Spicy, adstringend and a bit watery (at least not very oily). Red fruits and malt. Little warm woodsmoke. Not as fullbodied and complex as the nose. Almonds and brown sugar. With longer stay in the mouth it becomes salty.
Finish
Intensive nutty aftertaste with a metallic bitterness but really nice.

Malty, sweet and intriguing on the nose. Some sherry influence in the background but not too complex. Opens up beautifully with a few drops of water. No smoke, but dried fruit and Christmas cake flavours make this one quite a pleasant dram.

General description
lovely fruity (dark berries) with some wood and a hint of medicinal flavour in the back with a nice warm medium long finish. a very decent allrounder that can be enjoyed by the experienced malthead but also a perfect step up for those who tried the usual suspects, and are looking for more
Unimonster says on March 28, 2017
General description
Excellent Islay whisky, less peaty than a Laphroaig or Ardbeg, yet still recognizable as a product of my favorite region of Scotland. A subtle and complex blend of flavors that evokes the maritime nature of Islay, as befits the old sea captain who champions the brand.
