Impression: 1/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and oaky. At first there’s a mix of vanilla, honey and oak. The notes are top heavy and underneath there’s a young and quite sharp distillate. The oakiness is very pronounced and overruns everything else. There’s a minty overlay on top. It feels very simple and lacks complexity. This is a so-and-so nose. It’s way over-oaked, young and boring.

Mouth: It starts out with a honey sweetness coating the mouth while the spicyness slowly grows. It’s astringent from the start and the young distillate shines through immidiately. It doesn’t take long before the oakiness fills the palate with a dry sawdust oakiness. It feels too young and too simple.

Finish: The young distillate is the forerunner through the transition with the oak close behind. There a thin bitterness building up in the back and the honey and vanilla occupies the center. Everything else is astringent sawdust oak. The late finish comes with a small nutty note. It’s maybe hazelnuts with some imagination. This is a bad whisky which lacks age, balance and complexity. It’s way over-oaked.

Additional information
This single cask whisky was aged for just shy of 6 years in a 30L ex-bourbon cask (2016-11/2022-09).

Mackmyra Reserve American Oak/Smoky

ABV: 46.2 %
Origin: Sweden
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 3/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and ashy. At first there’s a quite ashy peatiness sitting within a mix of oak and honey. There are hints of menthol on top and fudge in the center, but the oak and peat combination dominates everything. There’s a nice balance between the two though. The whole feels slightly pointy with some slightly sharp edges all over. The peatiness switches character over time and becomes more earthy as the ashy notes simmer down. This is a very good nose with a well balanced character overall.

Mouth: It starts out with a nice spicyness and a slight bitterness in the back. There’s a young spirit note coming through heavily in the middle which isn’t all that nice. The oakiness fills the outside of the palate with notes of sawdust and assorted tropical fruits. On the inside there’s still a honey/fudge sweetness but it’s overrun by everything else. Everything feels a bit weird and chaotic at this point in the journey.

Finish: The spicyness spikes hard through the transition. When it starts to subside the whole still comes through as young and spirity. Now there’s a hint of wet cardboard coming through as well. The peatiness becomes more and more meaningless as the finish progresses and the oak just keeps on increasing in intensity. The late finish is all about the heavy fresh oak notes. This is a good whisky but it’s over-oaked and loses its balance over time.

Additional information
This single cask whisky was aged for about 4.5 years in a 30L american oak cask (2018-02/2022-09).

ABV: 46.7 %
Origin: Sweden
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 2/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and oaky. At first there’s a thick honey and berry note mixed with a sawdust oakiness. Underneath there’s a darker section with coffee, raisins and cocoa. Everything feels young and the cask notes feels extremely superficial. With time in the glass it becomes sweeter and vanilla heavy with a butterscotch side to it. It lacks richness and complexity. This is a so-and-so nose which has all the telltale signs of small cask maturation.

Mouth: It starts out with a heavy oakiness coating the outside of the palate together with a nice peppery spicyness. The sherry notes are there but are drowned out. A hint of cocoa, raisins and butterscotch, assorted dried fruits fight to get noticed in the center but the outside oak gets all the attention. The whole is rough and lacks sophistication.

Finish: The spicyness spreads out and mellows through the transition. There’s a swift second of fresh red berries before the heavy oakiness once again creates unpleasantries. The darker sherry notes, mainly the cocoa and raisins, fight through once again but soon have to give in. The late oakiness sees a slight nuttiness but is still making the whole experience utterly unbalanced. This is a so-and-so whisky which is over-oaked and top heavy.

Additional information
This single cask whisky was aged for just shy of 4 years in a 30L ex-Oloroso sherry cask (2018-10/2022-09).

Ban Xanghai Lao Whiskey

ABV: 50 %
Origin: Laos
Type: Rice Whiskey (Lao-Lao)
Bottles in collection: 1
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 1/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and spirity. At first there’s a generic sweetness sitting on top of a mild lemon/metallic note. It’s very ethanol heavy and there’s a cardboard note running through everything. A minty note sort of sits on top of everything else. Small notes of dry soil and oak can be detected as well. This is a bad nose and it mostly smells like raw spirit.

Mouth: It starts out very sweet with a lemon note coming from the back. It’s not especially offensive (at this point) and delivers notes of liquorice and oak. There’s an earthy side to it as well. The cardboard is still in there as well as the sweet minty note. After a few seconds it becomes very sour in the back which brings forwards a very metallic note in the mouth.

Finish: The sweetness and the sour notes stay through the transition and then doubles down. It’s still ethanol heavy and the lemon sourness in the back has now turned into a very sharp metallic note which is very unpleasant. The oakiness and the earthy notes tag along out on the edges. It’s a slightly dry oak. The late finish is just very metallic and unpleasant. This is a bad whisky. It’s too young and poorly made.

Additional information
This is a rice whiskey made in the famous Ban Xanghai Whiskey Village in Laos. There are several producers located in this tourist attraction.

Lämna en kommentar

ABV: 43 %
Origin: Highlands
Type: Single malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 1
Impression: 4/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is fruity and dry. At first there’s a mix of fresh and ripe fruits mixed with sweet honey. There are overripe dark fruits and liqeuer-soaked cherries, but after a few seconds the fruitiness becomes a bit brighter and some peaches and grapes start to come through together with vanilla. The background notes are somewhat medicinal and mineral rich. This is a very good nose with a nice array of things to discover.

Mouth: It starts out with somewhat spicy and quite medicinal. It’s dry and a big coffee and dark chocolate bitterness fills the background. There’s still a minerality within and the fruitiness is now all about the dark overripe fruits. The bitterness is dominating the palate and it feels a bit overwhelming after a while.

Finish: An initial dusty honey and vanilla note pass by quickly and leaves room for the bitter notes and a quite plain oakiness. It’s very dry and slightly astringent. The fruitiness is almost entirely gone and the finish is all about coffee, oak and dark chocolate. The medicinal side of it remain all through the finish though, and in the late finish there’s a tiny smoky and sulfury note residing behind everything else. This is a very good whisky with a complex but slightly unbalanced profile.

Additional information
This Distiller’s Edition is aged in american ex-bourbon barrels and then finished for at least 6 months in european ex-Montilla Fino sherry casks.

3 kommentarer

ABV: 50.3 %
Origin: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 5/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is dark fruits and peat. At first there’s a mix of peat, heavy dark fruits and some vanilla. Raisins, overripe plums and tobacco dominate the initial impact. A tropical fruitiness comes through after a while and there are mild spices floating around as well. There’s a richness to it and the peat really frames everything in a nice way and sort of lures out the old age notes with some old bookshelves and an old leather chair. This is a great nose with great balance between very pronounced flavours.

Mouth: It starts out with sweet dark fruits and leather while the spicyness increases in intensity. Tropical fruits and tobacco are soon to arrive as well. The whole is a bit dusty and rowdy which accents the other flavours nicely. There’s a dark chocolate bitterness shining through and the peat is still sitting all around the outside of the palate. It feels very balanced and rich with a lot to discover at this point.

Finish: The finish starts with the tropical fruitiness and a nice lemon note in the back while the dark and dusty fruitiness moves out towards the edges. Dark chocolate and old leather get added one more time and the finish goes on for a long time. The oakiness arrives fasionably late. It’s a nice oak with walnuts and grey old oak planks. This is an amazing whisky. It’s powerful yet balanced and has a nice journey throughout.

Additional information
This whisky is first aged in undisclosed casks and then finished in ex-sherry casks. This was released in 2009 for the swedish market and is limited to 4500 bottles. The bottle reviewed is 4460/4500. It’s unchillfiltered.

ABV: 51 %
Origin: Sweden
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 2/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet oak and mild peat. At first there’s a sharp sourness coated with honey and vanilla. There’s an immidiate oakiness connected to the vanilla. It sits together with a mild and moist peatiness. The whole thing feels young and a bit prickly. There’s a slight ripe note underneath but most of the flavours are drowned by the boring, fresh oakiness. There’s a minty note on top and a fresher fruitiness somewhere within as well. This is a so-and-so nose. It feels unbalanced and over-oaked.

Mouth: It starts out with a big spicy kick and a sour maltiness. The oakiness is not holding back and covers the edges and soon most of the palate. There’s a mix of ripe fruits, a wet peatiness and vanilla, but everything feels detached from the oak. The flavours within do put up a better fight on the palate than they did on the nose, but everything still feels like it’s too young with a rushed cask maturation. There’s bitter tang in the back as well as sweet liquorice but it makes the profile more confusing rather than contributing to the whole.

Finish: The transition begins with an increase in spicyness and the oakiness starts to become dry and astringent almost from the get-go. The ripe assorted fruits and the way too mild peat hide in the back with the bitter and sour notes. The oakiness spreads out over the palate and creates an entire woodshop. The late finish sees some bitterness in the back as well. This isn’t the best of whiskies. It lacks balance, age and feels a bit over-engineered.

Additional information
This whisky was aged in a mix of ex-bourbon barrels (75 %) and ex-port casks (25 %). The whisky is between 6-10 years old. 6200 bottles were released. It’s unchillfiltered and has natural colour.

Talisker 10 YO

Lämna en kommentar

ABV: 45.8 %
Origin: Islands
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 3
Impression: 3/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and peaty. A mild peatiness and some seasalt are the first things to come through. There are leather and black liquorice together with a fruity backdrop of apples and a squeeze of lime. Honey and vanilla act as fillers and sits in the gap between the peat and the fruits. A medicinal note comes forward after a while as well as a savory one. It’s nicely balanced and quite pleasant on the nose.

Mouth: A slightly bitter start, with a bit of spicyness to it, is followed by a very pronounced medicinal iodine note. The peat is not as present on the palate as on the nose but it’s still easily detectable. Now it leans even more towards the leather note. Both the spicyness and the bitterness continously move forward over time. There’s also a sweeter side to it with honey, vanilla and a complement in some salted caramel. There’s dry oak and it’s slightly astringent. The fruitiness is basically hidden by everything else but there’s still a lime note in the back.

Finish: There’s an initial dip in flavour before it picks up speed again. The bitterness comes first and then the medicial note follows. It soon moves over to a dusty oakiness that kind of lacks character. The savory note returns and sits in the center of the palate together with honey and baked apples. It’s still a bit spicy and astringent. The peat notes return in the tail together with the oak. A nice surprise pops up and black liquorice suddenly appears a long way down the line.

Additional information
This is a part of Diageo’s ”The classic malts of Scotland” series. It has around 20 ppm. It’s aged in reconstructed american ex-bourbon oak barrels. The reconstructed casks are made into a larger size than the original barrels.

Lämna en kommentar

ABV: 43 %
Origin: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 1
Impression: 2/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and fruity. At first there’s a fresh apple and pear fruitiness sitting on top of a mix of vanilla, malt and honey. Inside of the sweetness there are notes of cinnamon and dry garden soil. When it settles it becomes less fresh and more rounded overall. It never really shakes a slight spirity note away though. There’s a hint of some more ripe notes far away in the back but they really bring anything substantial. This is a good nose. It’s easy access and pleasant enough. There’s a lack of complexity and character though.

Mouth: It starts out sweet and quite flat for a second or two before the spicyness arrives. It comes through together with a sharp lemon note in the back and a cardboard box note in the center. It’s quite spirity and unpleasant at this point. There are some fresh fruits involved and it’s quite dry and astringent. The oakiness peeks through as well. The dry soil note doubles down and is very pronounced. This is not a great part of the journey.

Finish: The spicyness flares through the transition and the sweetness follows. When it settles there’s a very dry soil note and an astringent oakiness. The cardboard note and the spirity feel both remain. It doesn’t take long before everything crumbles and leaves a very unpleasant feeling on the palate with a not so great oak note, as dry as it can be. This is not the greatest of whiskies. It’s unpleasant at times and lacks character and complexity.

There is no information to be found on the aging process of this whisky. It’s the only standard release of Strathmill, yet it is limited.

ABV: 43 %
Origin: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 1
Impression: 4/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and fruity. At first there’s a mix of green fruits and vanilla. There’s honey on top and it’s mixed with some baking spices and a hint of marzipan. After a while, the fruitiness separates slightly with juicy, sweet yellow pears on top and some lemon notes underneath. There’s an earthy undertone which creates a nice, small nugget of complexity to an otherwise pleasant and straight forward character. This is a great nose which feels balanced and easy to access.

Mouth: It starts out with a big honey and coconut sweetness. There’s an early spicyness which helps it along the way. It’s still fruity, but the fruits have gone a bit less bright. Underneath the sweetness, a slightly misplaced bitterness mixes with earthy notes. This creates a more complex dram overall, but it makes everything feel less balanced. The lemon notes have increased in intensity in the back and the sweet and sour character is really enjoyable.

Finish: The transition offers a nice, small increase in spicyness before the fruitiness once again parks itself in the center. The sweetness is there, but it’s the first thing to disappear. After a few seconds the bitterness, the earthy notes and the lemon note return together with the oakiness, which has been quite anonomous up until this point. The oakiness is not a fantastic one but it does a fairly good job of keeping the finish together. This is a really good whisky with a lot to offer, both to the explorer and to an unexperienced palate.

Lämna en kommentar

ABV: 43 %
Origin: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 1
Impression: 4/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and fruity. At first there’s a dark fruitiness with a fresher top side mixed with vanilla and honey. It’s quite sweet and it has christmas spices coming through. It has a darker feel overall and it feels like there’s a tiny peatiness floating around as well. With time the vanilla really takes over and becomes the main feature. The fruitiness settles and it comes through as ripe plums and raisins. This is a really good nose. It does have some complexity to it even through it lacks a bit of power.

Mouth: It starts out with a coating of vanilla with a nice immidiate spicyness. In the center there’s a dark red fruitiness with overripe plums, tobacco and black coffee. It feels slightly astringent and the oakiness is already present. There’s a mild lemon note in the back and a fresh fruitiness on top. The peatiness comes through as mineral rich and quite mild. It could have been more noticable though, to make everything feel more balanced. It’s a lot less sweet in taste than on the nose.

Finish: The finish starts out with a small increase in what feels like a black pepper spicyness. After a while the dark fruits take over once again and the fresher fruits on top are now joining the lemon and the ripe fruits and creates a nice assorted fruit note in the center. The oakiness is moving in towards the center and it’s a newer oak which really doesn’t fit the dark character of the dram. The peatiness is not especially interesting in the finish. This is a really good whisky with a slightly disappointing finish.

Additional information
There is no information to be found on the aging process of this whisky but it’s a sherried expression. It’s the only standard release of Blair Athol, yet it is limited.

Highland Park Cask Strength – Release No.1

Lämna en kommentar

ABV: 63,3 %
Origin: Islands
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 1
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 4/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is laid back and sweet. There is an ABV spicyness coming through but it’s not invasive. There’s honey and vanilla together with a red fruitiness but the whole thing isn’t jumping out of the glass. The core flavours tend to move forward over time in the glass with red berries and dark dried fruits. It opens up and improves substantially with time. It’s young and a bit spirity, but it’s a nice nose.

Mouth: It starts out sweet and quite ABV spicy. A lemon note flies by before the red berries and dark fruits show up. There’s liqueur-soaked cherries and raisins. There’s a thin leather note and a hint of cinnamon. The cask influence is sort of sitting on top like a lid and it’s not a complex dram, but flavourful nontheless.

Finish: The high ABV shoots off a peppery spicyness before the sherry influence and a honey sweetness comes through. Vanilla is residing in the background together with some raisins and there’s not much of an oakiness, just a touch in the end. It comes through together with the thin leather note. There’s no astringency and basically no bitterness. This is a young and rowdy powerhouse in a nice suit.

Additional information
This expression is aged in sherry-seasoned american oak casks. The casks varies in age. It’s unchillfiltered and has natural colour.

Lämna en kommentar

ABV: 57.2 %
Origin: Islands
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 5/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is fruits, mint and peat. At first there’s a warm and sweet peatiness with a minty overlay and a dark red fruity base. Everything feels immidiately balanced and everything fits together. There are ripe plums and raisins which feel like they’re coated with a sweet liqueuer. The peatiness slowly fades over time, and that gives room for the other flavours. The peat comes through as a mildly burnt oakiness with a medicinal backside. There’s a spicyness from the ABV, but it’s not protruding in any way. This is a fantastic nose with both complexity and balance.

Mouth: It starts out with a ripe fruitiness up front and a lemon freshness in the back. The spicyness slowly builds up to a nice level and joins the minty overlay while the peatiness starts to emerge around the outside. It’s slightly astringent and it’s a big and rewarding start. There’s some coffee notes building up in the back as the fruitiness once again becomes liqueuer-soaked dark fruits. There’s a hint of age coming through in the back when a slight oakiness meets the peatiness. It’s almost got a dessert-like quality to it at this point.

Finish: The spicyness doesn’t spike, it just spreads out and leaves room for the fruitiness, which still consists of the dark fruits as well as lemon and coconut. The coffee note is still in there and is now joined by dark chocolate. The sweet minty layer is still coating everything, as do the peatiness. The finish is full of flavour and it’s full of complexity, with tiny things floating by like a speck of dust, a mineral note, raspberries and dry soil. The late finish is a nice hazelnut oakiness with a hint of the coffee note. The age shines through in the late finish as well. This is an absolutely fantastic whisky. It’s extremely balanced and complex and it’s full of flavour.

ABV: 48.1 %
Origin: Islands
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 4/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is dark and fruity. At first there’s a fruitiness which mostly consists of dark dried fruit notes. They are covered in a thin vanilla layer and a lot of Christmas spices. There’s a thin nail polish remover note on top as well. This whisky really shows some age on the nose and everything within seems connected and integrated. There are notes of heather, old varnished oak furniture, a hint of lemon and just a tiny hint of tropical fruits. It gets fruitier with time in the glass. This is an amazing nose which really reflects the suggested content.

Mouth: It starts out with a dark and bitter background espresso note and a gooseberry and lemon top note with the old varnished oak furniture in between. There’s a nice amount of power and the christmas spices are still in there helping everything along. There’s a complexity to it, and an especially unplacable nutty note really denotes this. The vanilla is gone and so are the tropical fruits. It’s now a sweet dark fruit marmelade which seems to wrap itself around all other flavours. The age is very much present and it’s dusty and slightly damp. It’s very much takes its place and it’s not especially mellow. Good casks are present.

Finish: A surge in dried fruits leads the transition and it feels very logial and continues on the same path as before. It’s coffee in the back and christmas spices up front with old varnished oak in between. When everything start to die down the old oak takes the spotlight. The complex nuttiness re-emerges and the late finish is an amazing old, nutty and fragrant oakiness which lasts for a very long time. The gooseberry note is still in there (it’s not as sour as the berries, just the overall character of the taste). This is a great whisky with a lot to offer. It’s not an easy sipper by all means and it really presents itself as an aquired taste overall.

Additional information
This whisky was aged in Spanish ex-sherry casks for the entire aging period. It has natural colour.

Lämna en kommentar

ABV: 55.9 %
Origin: Islands
Type: Single Malt
Bottles in collection: 0
Emptied bottles: 0
Impression: 4/5

Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and fruity. At first there’s a healthy serving of vanilla, toffee and soft red berries. There’s a mild layer of menthol floating around on top. Underneath the sweetness a darker character with dark chocolate, dried fruits and overripe plums creates a nice backplate. The fresher berries are joined by baked apples in the center and a rather translucent coastal note. With time in the glass everything seems to merge together to create a nice thick experience. This is a great, straight forward nose without any surprises. It delivers a solid profile which is nice overall.

Mouth: It starts out with a coastal note in the back and a quite peppery spicyness up front. There’s an immidiate increase in volume which makes the initial impact quite powerful. There are dark fruits and walnuts slowly emerging on the sides with notes of dark chocolate, overripe plums and leather. On top there’s a sprinkle of dust and some fresher fruits. The center is filled with vanilla and toffee. It still delivers a profile which is exactly on point with what to expect. After a few seconds it almost gets too spicy and forces a move on to the next step.

Finish: Surprisingly the transition almost immidiately reduces the intensity and the whole gets back to being powerful and spicy without being too aggressive. The dark fruits, chocolate and leather stay towards the edges while the center, still filled with vanilla and toffee, gets somewhat perfumey and aromatic. This seems to be connected to an oakiness which starts to build up in the back. The bitter note from the dark chocolate is now stronger and it really shows its age in the late finish. It takes a good while to get there but the late finish reveals a very nice and nutty oakiness with telltale signs of the 17 years spent in a cask. This is a great whisky which does everything by the book. It’s a solid creation (which, to be a bit picky, maybe lacks a bit of fun for the explorer).
