(Only liquid gold varies in flavours)
A very smooth typicall Sherry nose. There are hints of blackberries, a little ananas, and some medicinic vanilla.
Sweet on the tongue and a fine smoth finish. Nothing to add anymore. This one is not a must have, but a bottle is worth it.
Just say peat with a peatball in your mouth! It is like chubby bunny... oh sorry for that...
The name is the prohecy, peat, peat, sweet peat of mine. Smoke on the water is the perfect description for this dram. There is also an old rubberglove in the nose, ha, ha what a picture :-) Sweet herbal mint is coming to the nose too. Let me discrbe this vatted malt of Ardbeg (65%), Laphroaig (30%) and Bowmore (5%) like a breath-taking, tongue-killing, throat-blasting, breast-firing lord of darkness!
Earthy bourbon caramel sweet with two years in Spanish oloroso sherry casks give this dram a passable taste. The wood is very present in the nose and you can smell honey created candles too. There is also fresh pickled wood and of course marmalade.
Very sweet on the tongue it goes down the throat smooth and easy.
For sure a Whisky that also beginners can have their fun with.
A fine peated Highland Single Malt. Smells like an old leather bag with hints of salty notes. My father had an old treasure chest where he stored oriental carpets, once in a year at least he opened this chest and this smell was nearly what I experienced just a few minutes ago. There is also a soft rose perfume in it. After a sip there is also a hint of hemp in it as the herbal part of this Whisky.
With a soft finish there is some peat left on the tongue in the mouth (over 50ppm)
The Ballechin series is the peated experiment of the smallest distillery in Scotland called Edradour.
Rocks color are pink-brown? No they are not but this malt is. The bottle states it is un-peated but a colleague told me that a Bruichladdich is never un-peated. You will never know what is realy in some molecules when you din't create them by yourself.
The smell is somehow maple-nut, fresh seaweed, greentea, aahh... it is like a rivulet with calta paulustris (kingcup / marsh marigold) and peat bog. After 5 to 10 minutes there comes the vanilla from behind.
After a dip there comes the cambhor ball... a little sharp on the tongue with a long finish warming the breast and coming back to the nose with something of wine...
Very interessting, somehow complex and somehow straight, I can not decide what but there is something that holds me tight on this spirit.
