<\/a><\/p>\nGeneral info<\/i>:This ten-year-old whisky is matured in both ex-Oloroso and ex-bourbon casks, and has been bottled \u00e4r the ABV of 46%. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor artificially coloured.<\/span><\/p>\n Colour<\/i>: Dark golden<\/span><\/p>\n Nose:<\/i>\u00a0Well hello Laphroaig! I know, I know – I shouldn’t comparr whiskies like this but my initial reactionegen nosing the whisky was that it really reminded me of its distant Islay-relative. \u00a0This is definately a medicinal nose, with a bunch of peat and smoke. It actually smells kind of like peated cough medicine! When the initial chock has subsided I find juniper and band aids too. It also smells a bit of sealed-up ”plastic container” too (don’t ask me how I got to think about that) and old fabric. But wait… after a while there is actually some fruitiness coming through, and I sense something that reminds me of passionfruit. Then a wave of eucalyptus and finally some leather. A promising start, indeed! Aftersome water the nose becomes a bit sweeter but also a bit tangy. Some lime finds its way through with a hint of tobacco and wax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Taste<\/i>: Hello, where did the flavours go?? After such a cocky nose it’s as if I’ve stepped into a room that almost achoes empty. My first thought is ”has it already been watered?”. Then I start wondering if anything has gone wrong or happened along the way, it shouldn’t taste like this. Sure, there is a little smoke, there is a little peat, there is even a little saltiness but the emphasis in all of this is on ”little”. A sense of waxed tablecloth sneaks by along with some rubber, but the whole time I’m feverishly looking for more flavour. With a few drops of water the whisky completely collapses, and the taste that was there before is now so balanced it has completely lost all personality. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
