Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы сходятся на интенсивном шери-профиле с тёмными сухофруктами, шоколадом и дубом, часто описываемом как «sherry bomb». Финиш нередко отмечают как длинный, дубовый и слегка горьковатый.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстов нос описывается как интенсивный шери-профиль: тёмные сухофрукты (изюм, чернослив, финики), вишня, шоколад, кожа и табак, иногда с орехами, специями (корица, гвоздика, перец) и травянисто-мятными нюансами. Ряд отзывов прямо называют виски «sherry bomb» и отмечают, что он сильно обусловлен бочкой, временами в ущерб сложности и характеру дистиллерии; часть рецензентов пишет о «тяжёлом» дубе и односторонности. Во вкусе преобладают маслянистость, тёмные фрукты и ягоды, шери, шоколад, эспрессо, кожа и дубовая пряность; крепость ощущается по-разному — от «удивительно мягкого» начала до заметной резкости и жгучести, часто рекомендуется добавить воду.
Финиш в отзывах чаще длинный или средне-длинный, с тёмным шоколадом, эспрессо, дубом, сухофруктами и кожаными нотами; неоднократно упоминается нарастающая дубовая горечь и терпкость, а в нескольких случаях финиш назван слабее носа и вкуса или «уходящим за границы». Общий тон отзывов — очень положительный, с высокими оценками и формулировками вроде «отлично», «вкусно», «мечта», при этом критика касается прежде всего односторонности, доминирования бочки и иногда слишком агрессивного финиша.

With water even more oak while moving in a neck candy direction. The finish is quite over the top. After all a great Glenlivet with some misleading at the end.Concerning price/performance ratio: 7/10

very complex, dominant but balanced. There is a lot to discover. By the herbal notes, the oak cargo and the cask strength no simple, tasty whisky but something to rediscover constantly, give time and surprise. It stays in the memory.

The color is awesome! So far one of the darkest whiskys I've had. Even from a distance, sherry and the strength of the cask strength float against me. Uff, first first alcohol, then sweetness and deep breath a few fresh herbs, a bit earthy, fruits come here quite slowly, mainly dried fruit, raisins, dried plums. Again and again a beguiling fruity sweetness, to leather, again herbs, very powerful and voluminous. A slight sharpness (at first I thought of the alcohol, but it's more the herbs). In the second nose, the aromas are more structured: oak, sweet sherry, chocolate and herbs dominate. |

Great color! Sherry Bomb! As expected, intense sherry nose, not sweet, rather dry. Strong earth, mild wood. You can already feel that he will be strong... The full force! Very intensive. But now very the barrel notes. saliva in the mouth. Here you chew on the sip for a long time, tries to perceive everything. Surely it can take a drop of water. Rarely had such an intense experience. A long, bitter finish. Splendid!

A few months later, I had the whisky in a blind tasting once again. These were my impressions: Color: mahogany Smell: Sweet sherry and lots of it, a light alcoholic stinging, oak, tangerine, roses, lilies and sherry again and again Taste: Surprisingly mild onset, only after a small moment does a pleasant sharpness appear on the tongue, strong, massive oak, sherry, drier and not nearly as sweet as in the nose, Departure: Dark chocolate, espresso, lots of oak, but not too much oak, the bitterness lingers for a long time on the tongue and on the palate. Conclusion: A very barrel-heavy whisky with a lot of sherry and oak. Everything fits together well and tastes really good. The only criticism that could be expressed would be one-sidedness. The barrel hardly leaves room for anything else. 89 points Tip: The Whisy shows an extremely small piece of tough drop formation and also the alcoholic stinging in the nose let me assume a very high alcohol content, at least 56%. I suspect a pure ripening in a first-filled sherry keg. The age is difficult. The strong oak suggests a high age, at least 20 years. The distillery, I estimate as a rather unknown. It is not Glendronach or Glenfarclas. However, it could even be a Kavalan Soloist Sherry. Of course my age tip is not right. A little different from the first, conscious tasting. Nevertheless, he liked me again. The first time I gave him 91 points. So now I'll take the remedy and get him with 90 points.

The smell is intensely fruity, but without the heaviness of some old, barrel-heavy whiskys with tart oak notes. Nevertheless, the smell is not lacking in maturity. Even in the mouth, this great Glenlivet can convince me, mature and sufficiently complex, but dangerous complacent. Only the departure falls slightly. Still good, but a little weaker after the smell and the taste. Overall, I like the whisky excellent.

Creamy and oily body, strong but very pleasant onset, sweet and velvety like a liqueur, the whisky lays on the tongue, then it is slightly astringent, the fruits are darker than in the smell, dark cherries, dates, a little oak, but only little bitterness. Only at the second sip is more oak and also a bit more bitterness, the age becomes clearer. |

Pure barrel - this is a very fine malt! Just maybe a bit hyped. 94 points from some - good goodness, in my opinion he is far from that. But very tasty, no question about it.

A somehow "treated" butt? Reminding 1988s Blair Athol (SV, Ultimate) wine treated butts, the cask dominating over the spirit. Here very smooth and soft, despite high ABV not needing much water. Somewhat onedimensional and not evolving complex notes (directly compared to one of the Blair Athols).

A blockbuster, that goes out of boundaries in the finish. Maybe, such a whisky is appealing to many, but I find the change from nose to finish too much.

Gets quite tannic in the end, I must say. Dark chocolate, ginger, hot pepper, wooden planks. Along with that, there is a combination of mainly dried fruit and fresh red fruit. |

Takes no prisoners. What a cask. Maybe a bit buttoned-up without water, but you can already tell the depths it will yield. Dusty, musky, dark, and deep. Heavy oak spice and ultra-rich jammy fruits (sugared &v stewed red berries). |

Straightforward and mouthwateringly tasty. Deep, dark, and sweet, like 50/50 espresso-and-sugar ratio. Bramble jam, blueberry pie, mousse au chocolat, forest honey, leather... You see where this is going. Bit of a one-trick pony, though – I wouldn't call this complex. |

You have to experiment with water to dial down the heat, that's the definite downside. Overall a bit less impressive than nose & palate. |
A dreamy sherry bomb! As nicely mentioned, not too woody and not too sweet, just perfect! I like it very much! ;-) Edit: While I review my notes again, the spicy wood tones with espresso and menthol turn a lap of honor and end in hard caramel, walnuts and dark berries. 24/23/23/23 (93P)

Intense and rust-brown amber rests in the glass. On the glass wall of my Premium Snifter sticks an oily streak from the clumsy to solve a variety of small "legs". Sweet and juicy oranges rise, immediately intense and dark sherry aroma infatuates the nose. Sour cherries and morello cherries end in creamy caramel and sweet toffee, milk chocolate overpowers spicy oak tones, while a hint of meadow herbs mingles with a pinch of Christmas spices. Hints of dried berries and grapes, hints of mint and eucalyptus, dates and apricots. This wonderful nose is a prime example of the perfect sherry nose. Not too cute, not too wooden, just perfect! |

Immediately after the first sip wonderful sherry aroma flows through the palate, sweet and dried berries play with spicy wood tones and sweet chocolate. Chocolate melts in the mouth, subtle sharpness massages the tongue, and the warmth is distributed on the palate and throat while cold espresso spills powerfully through the lower jaw. A touch of juicy cherries combined with a few splashes of orange juice refreshes the palate, old mint is dignified in the background. Wet leather nuances become more intense, with minimal wet tobacco leaves and crushed black pepper. The alcohol is wonderfully harmoniously integrated, with hazelnuts and walnuts, the taste is voluminous in the finish. |

The spicy wood tones become drier and minimally bitter, whale and hazelnuts stick to the tongue while a dried spice and herbal mixture unfolds its spicy aroma on the tongue. Thyme stings out, the deep black espresso appears with increasingly menthol and mint. Walnuts and cedar stick between the tongue and the palate, slowly the wonderful sherry aromas slowly leave a satisfied grin on the face. |

Nose: dark sherry, dusty oak, cola syrup, dark cherries, caramel, chocolate, wet old leather, dried herbs - wow everything you can expect from such a dark fern! Taste: strong and full aroma of dark fruits, raisins in the chocolate coat, old leather, tidy sherry sweetness and then heavy oak which dominates the long finish even with its bitter notes (dark chocolate, espresso). Dream fabric!
Blind tasting. Consistent from start to finish, a great malt. Overall, a very tasty treat.
