Дымный морской купажированный солод от Compass Box с выраженным торфом (Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Ledaig) и цитрусово-фруктовой сердцевиной; оценки плотно держатся у 87–88, спор идёт лишь о цене.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — тёплые угли и костровой дым с йодистой морской ноткой и водорослями, поверх которых ложатся апельсиновая цедра, красные и садовые фрукты (клубника, вишня, яблоко, груша), мёд, карамель, восковая и пряная гамма. Во вкусе фрукты идут первыми, а дым и костёр нарастают постепенно, не подавляя; отмечают маслянистую, восковую текстуру, дубовые танины, перец, душистый перец и терпкое яблоко, у некоторых — лёгкую резкость и тонковатое тело. Послевкусие средней длины, маслянистое, самое дубово-пряное, но у части дегустаторов коротковатое и недостаточно интенсивное, с уходящими первыми фруктовыми нотами; кто-то ловит металлический оттенок, выдающий молодость спирта.
Опытные ревьюеры хвалят удачную и вкусную сборку с уместным торфом и ставят преимущественно 88–89, тогда как остальные держатся у 87 и заметно расходятся в трактовках: одни называют херес мягким или почти отсутствующим, другие сомневаются в сложности, а несколько человек прямо критикуют цену (~120–124 €) как завышенную за полученное. При этом разброс оценок узкий (85–89), профиль описывается согласованно — морской торф плюс цитрус и фрукты, сбалансированные дубовой пряностью, — и главное расхождение не во вкусе, а в вопросе, оправдывает ли качество запрошенные деньги.

It's said to use a large amount of Caol Ila's original spirit, making it a very pleasant and relaxing drink.

Warm embers, red fruits, banana, white pepper, grass, orange, some shortbread and a hint of oak. |

At first there is more fruit than smoke. Strawberry, cherry, orange. Then the campfire slowly builds up. Also accompanied by a nice spice from pepper and oak. But it is clearly accompanying, not overpowering. Alcohol has just the right intensity. Nice blend, nice harmony. |

As usual, the finish is the strongest phase of oak and spice. Nevertheless, the fruity note is clearly recognizable here too. Especially orange. Again a beautiful symbiosis, but the finish is unfortunately a bit short. A few percentage points of intensity are missing here. |
A good, but far from excellent, blended peated whisky. I find the price of 120 Euro a bit steep for what you are actually getting...

Medium intensity inoffensive peat, gentle Sherry notes, honey, caramel, malt, mix of spices. |

More or less matches the nose. Slightly sharp with somewhat thin texture. Fruit sourness joins the party (think lemon or sour yellow apple). |

OK, but nothing special. Missing complexity to compete for a higher rating. On the other hand, I very much enjoy the sour candy like note. |

Blind sample courtesy of a friend. Fairly well blended, but to me not much of a sherry dram. A slight tinge of metallic note in the finish makes it feel younger. I feel it was more influenced by the recharred casks, but I haven't looked for the whole cask composition. As is, fairly drinkable blended malt.

Ok, you can drink, but 124€? Well... everyone should know for themselves. I saved money again.
Tasting: 2024-11-29 Price: 119.90€ Smoke, sherry, salt, malt, citrus, dates, apricot, ash, chocolate
delicious, rich and complex, I love it too.
It's interesting how diffuse a bottling can seem when such different components are blended. My impressions varied greatly from nose to palate, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I like dry, woody whiskies, hence 86 points.
Another successful blended malt from Compass Box. The smoky components are very prominent: Caol Ila (26.6%), smoky Tobermory/Ledaig (16.5%), and Ardbeg (7.1%). The non-smoky components are a Speyside malt "from near Aberlour" (26.6%) and two Compass Box blended malts: one made from Highland single malts (16.9%) and a "Magic Cask" (6.3%).

Fruity and fresh. Maritime smoke with a hint of iodine and seaweed. Fruit salad with apples, pears, oranges, and light grapes. Fine blend of spices. |

Fruity and very spicy. Maritime smoke with iodine and seaweed. Strong oak tannins, slightly bitter, with pepper, allspice, and a hint of clove. Very tart apple. |

Medium-length finish. Spicy with a slight heat. The fruity notes fade first. |

A very well done, nicely balanced and rich blend demonstrating why compass box is one of the greatest IB blenders out there! A huge testament to the company here. I may have to purchase another…

Light smoke/peat mixed with orange zest and candle wax. There is a slight maritime note that is balanced quite well sweet citrus. It really is a spectacular and intriguing aroma; I feel it is very soothing and tea like. No ethanol sting to be found. |

A very spot on transition from the nose to the palate. The peat and maritime notes are at the forefront but that orange citrusy kick is magnified quite a bit in accompaniment. Rounded with an oily texture. Nicely balanced with calming turns through notes of Smoke, Sweet, oaky vanillin, and crystalized sugars. A good waxy mouth feel as well! |

Medium in length but very oily. A slightly oaky tannin sensation is present, however, after the full sweetness of the palate, is very welcome and adds a nice layer. Again, the last thing that i get is almost like a smoked old fashioned note with the orange popping out nicely. |
