Страхотен драм за такава цена. С тези 46 градуса е уцелен перфектно. Определено бих повторил.

General description

Totally not expected the not finished taste.
Was curiious and actually a bit disappointing.
Alreaday written, this should me much longer on the cask. To fast chisen to bottle. Needs more character.

General description

Unangenehme Nase, kantig und unausgewogen im Geschmack. Man schmeckt zwar deutlich die modrig- erdigen, sowie rauchig-maritimen Islay Charakteristika - insgesamt aber zu jung und unausgewogen. Schmeckt irgendwie wie ein 3-jähriger, unreifer Caol Isla.
Ich nehm ihn mir irgendwann nochmal vor.

General description

A single malt from Islay. Despite being 46% has the burn of a cask strength whisky. Despite being specially selected I personally think that on undiluted taste they choose badly. The taste hints as very young. in my opinion this whisky was taken out of the cask too soon. Taste more like new make spirit that from bourbon cask. A bit of water does not help much.

Rating based on taste and value for money

General description

Somehow I kinda had high hopes for this one, though it didn't quite meet my expectations. It's surprisingly light coloured. The nose immediately reveals plenty of smoke, filling the entire room with BBQ coal and salty nuts..
Flavour and finish is a bit too much smoke and not much else. While giving quite the burn if not nipping. I like the smokey nose, but by dominating in all areas it sort of loses my interest.

General description

Rauchig mit Süße und leichtem Pfeffer. Schmeckt für mich wie ein (leichter) Laphroaig kombiniert mit einem (leichten) Talisker. Guter Preis, Kaufempfehlung.

General description

Taste like younger Laphroaig 10. Very similar but a little sharper and a little more bitter (oaky) on the finish. Great Whisky👍
