Мощный торфяной Ballechin бочковой крепости с йодом, дёгтем, солёными орехами и копчёностями, а из бочки — красные фрукты, кокос и мёд. Оценки плотно держатся у 88; вердикт — честный, добротный торфяник, хотя уникальности ему местами не хватает.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминирует фенольный торфяной дым — костёр, копчёное мясо, беконовое барбекю, йод, дёготь и асфальт, поверх солёной основы с обилием орехов (солёный арахис), морской соли и влажной земли; из бочки пробиваются сладкие ноты — изюм, сливы, айвовое варенье, красные фрукты, а у кого-то ярко выражен кокос. Во вкусе продолжается интенсивный дым с йодом и смолой, солёная карамель и тоффи, ореховость, красноягодное варенье, мёд, маслянистая плотная текстура и пряный перец; послевкусие длинное, землистое, дымное, с лакрицей, солью и сушёными фруктами. Хвалят полноценную выдержку, качество бочки и питкость при высокой крепости, многие называют это лучшим Ballechin в своём опыте и сравнивают с Ardbeg.
Согласованность высокая: большинство оценок держатся в диапазоне 85–92 с центром около 88, и опытные ревьюеры дают близкие цифры (86–92), не расходясь заметно с остальными. Восторженный пик — 97 за «кокосовую бомбу», нижняя граница — критика: горелая резина и моторное масло с неприятной сладостью, сходство с бурбоном, более тонкая, чем ожидалось, текстура, а также упрёк, что профиль не столь уникален, как у версии 17 Burgundy, и что цена в €200 завышена. Часть отмечает, что бочковой характер (Мадера/Мансанилья) добавляет глубины, не перебивая базовый торфяной характер, тогда как критики видят в бочке источник «грязноватой» сладости.

Unexpected Crocodile from Pitlochry!?))) It's not Ardbeg of course, but this whisky reminded me of his famous release, and overall it's very nice! As a result, we have a beautiful, tasty, honest history of whisky, once again confirming the axiom that full aging and good barrels are the key to a successful release! 22 22 21 22 87

The colour is golden brown, if you see the whisky hanging on the glass it promises to give a nice oily structure. A very nice expression of Ballechin.

Strong, smoky Ballechin, I have never had this intensity in Ballechin before, the barrel is noticeable with a slightly fruity and sweet note, but lets the basic character of the whisky take the lead role. The best Ballechin I have had in my glass so far - 05/23/2024

Surprisingly strong smoky peat is the first impression, followed by thick sweetness—raisin, plum, and honey come through behind the smoke. Digging through the peat reveals layers of sweetness. On the palate, nutty peat and intense honey dominate.

Awesome peat bomb. Barrel influence is there, but not too intense. Exactly my thing.

A confusing first impression. The aroma is very light and fresh. I wouldn't have expected that from a Ballechin. The palate fully expresses the cask, with its red fruit aromas. The smoke is appropriately balanced for its 19 years of age and lends the malt depth rather than being the dominant feature. Fortunately, I had a Laphi 10CS for calibration. The Ballechin's cask strength is surprisingly drinkable. A top-notch product, then, if it weren't for the high price of €200.

Smoke, BBQ, herbs, and Madeira barrel notes also come through well in the smoke, with a sweetness of plums and a few red fruits, along with a few dry impressions and a bit of varnish. Very good. |

Ah, the motor oil ! For some reason, edradour always reminds me of american bourbons rather than of scotch whisky. Thanks for some smoke at least. Oh... The burnt oil, with something unpleasantly sweet... Burnth rubber... Bacon with some jam... Jesus no...
This Ballechin somewhat resembles Ardbeg with its grassy and BBQ notes. It is good, but I like 17 Burgundy significantly more, this one doesn't have such a unique profile.
The aroma is complex and peaty, with hints of sherry or fortified wine coming through. Aromas of butter and sunflower oil. The flavor mirrors the aroma. Buttery, winey, smoky, pumpkin-like, and interesting, yet quite heavy. The finish is light but lingering.
