It does not scare me, but it's a very idiosyncratic whisky that I find hard to rate. There is no flavor in my opinion, which really repels me, but also nothing except the orange peel, which is somehow attractive. He also falls apart completely with water. I find that with the caraway almost interesting. Well, a Wisky that you do not have to have, but I will not pour it out.

The first thing that strikes you is the very intense coloring, which immediately reminded me of a copper still. It is also very present visually and then olfactorily in the glass. It's not very "viscous" and doesn't pull "legs" at all... The nose unusual for a whisky but also for a whisky (as far as I can tell). But this Irishman reminded me of another Alambic bottling: www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/80850 To 23-year-old Glen Keith. Since I was able to try it again recently, it is still very much in my mind. But beyond that, you don't forget it that easily, because I would still swear today that I was given the one middle-aged gin - but by no means a 23-year-old Speysider... And this one, although Irish... only 12 years old and that includes aging in a Bordeaux cask for two years, has such a strikingly similar nose - really odd! And I have two questions: In what did the whisky mature before it came into the Bordeaux cask and what kind of Bordeaux was it??? To cut it short and not to bore anyone: The nose offers orange, car wax, herbal sweets, cough syrup, rubbing alcohol, Becherowka and vanilla liquorice. All things that you don't necessarily expect in a whisky, but which are also absolutely not unpleasant - on the contrary: I like it very much! On the palate then the same game. A funny potpourri of the "participants" mentioned above. Also a bit of "Turkish pepper" and iodine tincture. Curiously, after I had it on the palate, the "whisky" also came through in the nose...but only subtly. The finish then consistently herbaceous and liquorice with a bit of white pepper. All in all a nice ... well ... let's call it an aperitif, because it definitely stimulates the appetite. A whisky (or whisky) is not for me in life. Nevertheless, I find it easy to drink and not too bad due to the unusual aroma. Anyone expecting a whisky ala Redbreast or Bushmills: hands off! Anyone who is fearless or adventurous and also likes the Säntis: fire free!

Au weia, the stuff is really bad! I got the sample because I have a thing for filthy and controversial stuff. At the time there were only the three 90s, one 35 and one 25. The motivation for the Ü90 ratings, after I've tasted it, can not explain rationally for me, except perhaps with payment. Even if you like weird stuff and can really take something away from the stuff, it's not nearly a whisky, and definitely not Ü90. There's nothing polarizing, it's just bad. Gin in the nose, bad grappa in the mouth and the coronation is this rotten note. Also for me clearly the red lantern!

From the color I would have typed on a wine barrel finish, from his nose to gin or rum. We are silent about the taste better! If this had been a whisky at all, that was guaranteed a ginfinish or a cucumber barrel or a herring barrel ... Sylter Tide, Fishky, SMWS 35.178, no matter, great what it definitely not! If I can even award points, then a maximum of 40 ...

How drunk do you have to be to bottle something like this under the name "whisky"? Smells like a lousy gin, tastes like a herbal liqueur and otherwise has little to do with the drink we all love. What is Alambic was thinking will probably remain their secret forever. A case for the cabinet of curiosities!

What the F....! Limoncello with Ramazotti. Herbal, spicy, aniseed, Juniper, spearmint, a bit toffee and vanilla. Lots of caraway and lemon. The only good thing about this bottling is that is shows once again How manifold the world of single malt whisky is

Moin too, I absolutely acknowledge the diversity of tastes. Also the reason why I (almost) never publish Notes and donate scores otherwise. Because what you or he or she thinks of a malt can only be a reliable indicator of the quality of a bottling for a few whiskynases I know well. As far as the peace offer. That this bottling is, however, said to be the absolute last scrap, with the Alambic Classique has completely shattered his reputation with me, I would like to clarify for me quite explicitly. According to the smartest Whisky database in the world, I was still able to taste 1,555 whiskys today. And I had it underneath. 1-2x something in the glass that has just scoffed me similarly and animated to wegschütten. This whisky gets from me the red all-time lantern. Not drinkable, inedible and absolutely unbearable. And despite my conviction that flavors can be far apart, I speak the ludicrous review of Fassnachtsgilde Fränkische Schweiz ( http://whiskyclub-fs.de/2017/07/27/whisky-vorstellung-irish-diamonds-2005-small- batch-no-3-alambic-classique-590-vol / ) as well as the three fairy tale reviews in the 9xer-Punktbereich here every truthfulness. It's nice to see three of your noses jumping out of the bottle for whatever reason, but if you think that's good for 9x dot stuff, you've never had whisky in your glass before and you're otherwise fed on bioethanol. But to look, fair as I would like to be, if from the total of over 15 participants of my split 2½ bottles at least one raises his finger and would like to insert a good word for the snot, I'll write to all participants and ask for open feedback , Head shaking greetings ...

After all the "horrified" reviews, I finally wanted to have it in my glass. It was worth it for me. Of course, it's completely different from any whisky I've ever had in my glass. Of course, it is much more reminiscent of a gin than a whisky. But that's not the point. If I put the type of spirit and the resulting expectations in the background, objectively it remains an absolutely interesting, powerful and individual drink.

In my opinion one of the worst ever bottled whiskys, totally messed up.

This has nothing to do with whisky, at best, it could be called middle-class gin. Does not go at all :-(

Se best! Just kidding This Irish Whisky really is something else! Crazy Orange Fennelseed Anise Aromas going on here!

Nose: Herb candies dissolved in vodka. Juniper, Anise (very strong!), Escorial. With hand warmth and air still strong sage, caramel. Mouth: Strong sharp start. Again this mixture of herbal liqueur and AAnisschnas, with pepper. Fruit gum with raspberry flavor Finish: Medium length, sage, anise, anise and more anise. pepper 75/100 (as a spirit) Conclusion: I can understand the ratings in the base if you use a whisky standard. Here I am also tempted to regard this almost penetrating aniseed note as a false note. As a spirit, on the other hand, I find whisky quite exciting, albeit a bit one-dimensional

Even before the glass reaches the nose, the no. 3 fruity aromas. In the nose and on the palate then a wonderful aroma cargo, orange peel and speculaas, seasoning. Soft on the palate despite the 59%, no trace of sulfur, as sometimes found in wine finishes. A long, spicy finish, slight oak notes accompanied by sweetness. An absolutely fascinating Bordeaux red wine finish.

Definitely very strange. Cough syrup, herbal sweets and anise in abundance. The malt doesn't meet my taste at all. At least the alcohol seems well integrated to me. Yeay!

Untrinkbarer Fusel A shame for Alambic to fill something like that

That stuff is just a disaster, it can't possibly be whisky! Just tastes like grapefruit juice, bitter and sour.

Today something very special in the glass. In the nose rubbing alcohol, label remover, more precisely orange solvent. In the mouth orange solvent, blood pressure tablet and denatured alcohol. It's an experience, even if not one that I would have to repeat ????

I thought so far, the Little Piggy 2010 by C & S Dram is the worst, what I had previously in the glass, so unfortunately I was taught a better. :-( I received a sample from an FT of a member of mine known and personally appreciated. Full of anticipation, 2cl were immediately put into the glass. Against that hit me a "scent", which reminded me more of Gin. The taste was then violent ... strong strong, burning on the tongue (and no, that's not my first whisky, which I have tasted in FS) and little or no reminiscent of wine finish. Tastes are different, unfortunately he has not met mine and I consider the rest of the sample, as already the LP, its earthly purpose in the spout feed.

Wonderful bouquet, no obtrusive, disturbing flavors such as bitterness or spirit. A wonderful drop, it is worth every cent that has to be spent here. To the critics - keep drinking your Aldi Bourbon and develop a taste
