Насыщенный, но деликатный херес: сухофрукты, изюм, шоколад, пряности при мягком для 58% теле. Опытные ценят элегантную зрелость, почти все сходятся на 87–89, но единодушно считают цену завышенной.
развернуть подробно
В аромате преобладают сухофрукты, изюм, чернослив и финики, молочный и тёмный шоколад с какао, кожа, орех и полироль для мебели, поверх лёгкая сладость и пряности — корица, душистый перец; отмечают также свежие фрукты (персик, груша), цветочные и травяные ноты и оттенок ароматной древесины. Вкус солодовый и хересный, с сухофруктами, черносливом, разогретыми пряностями и заметным дубовым танином; при 58,4% алкоголь у многих встроен на удивление мягко, хотя часть авторов жалуется на резкость, онемение языка от перца и нарастающую древесную горечь. Послевкусие долгое, на сухофруктах, шоколаде, пряностях и дубе, у некоторых с намёком на древесный дым и табак.
Опытные ревьюеры описывают образец как безупречную современную выдержку в хересе — лёгкую, элегантную, с хорошо интегрированным спиртом, «деликатную хересную бомбу», и ставят преимущественно 88–89; расхождения идут не по качеству напитка, а по соотношению цены и ценности: почти все считают ценник (около £400 / €300) сильно завышенным и снижают оценку именно за это, называя более дешёвые розлив Flora & Fauna выгоднее. Меньшинство настроено критично по сути — от упрёков в невыразительности и неузнаваемости фирменного характера винокурни до откровенно низких 78–81 за сухость, горечь, резину и лак в аромате. В целом согласованность высокая: основная масса оценок держится в узком коридоре 86–90, а немногочисленные низкие баллы объясняются либо разочарованием при слепой дегустации, либо поправкой на завышенную цену.

[September, 2022] I had a dram at the distillery bar. This is a modern sherry maturation which is flawless and easy quaffable with significant (but not distracting) wooden spikes. They sell the bottle for 400 GBP at the distillery shop which is way north of the retail price of many shops both in the UK and Europe. From my (drinker's-only) perspective I would not spend more than 150 bucks on a bottle of such a profile, the distillery exclusive (Flora & Fauna) batch no. 1 is a much better deal at 90 bucks in my honest opinion.
Dark amber in color. The texture is not too oily.

On the nose, a sweet sherry side and grilled spices! On the palate, ... it's strong!, Then a "vinous" side comes out softly, the alcohol doing its job of binding then and the pronounced sherry scents now and the spices and roasted seeds! In the end, medium to long enough on the same aromas! An interesting dram by its evolutionary sherry side.
Matured in European oak butts that have been scraped, toasted, recharred and refilled with fortified wine in the UK before being filled with the spirit.
The magnificent silence, complex and deep aroma can be explored endlessly, enjoying successive halftones and shades, the taste does not lag behind, the finish gives a breather to prepare for the next throat - just a sherry fairy tale.

A nice and tasty sherry maturation with a lot of age. Contrary to other descriptions, I already recognize the Blair Athol style and am happy about this complementary further development of the 12yo F&F in CS with a much higher intensity and longer finish than the 12yo. Blair Athol is underrated for me anyway. But: It's still not worth the price tag to me. More than four times the 12yo is an announcement. And this explains the still very good availability of the 2017 Special Release at the end of 2020. Overall, prices have to increase further to justify prices of around € 300 for this bottling. Therefore my rating is also influenced by the PLV. Blindly without knowing the price, the drop is already an 88/89, but there are deductions in these spheres.
This whisky packs a punch. An extraordinary, multi-faceted dram for me. One thinks of forests.

S 7 Had this dram at the distillery bar. A few drops of water will soften the heated spices and bring more mellow sherry & pleasure to the experience. I would pay a premium for the well-aged, scented wood aroma, but at £400ish that's fairly overpriced. 86-90 - A to-share bottle

Freshly malted barley. Organic strawberries. Dehydrated red apples. Some blackberries. Creamy toffee. Soft spices. Pinewood. Just a whiff of scented wood. Fresh & fruity at 58.4%, despite a slightly pungent. Curled meat, think Serrano ham. More mellow sherry surfacing as time goes by. The scented oak slowly faded away after 15 mins. |

Strawberry jam. Figs. Powerfully heated spices with dry & oaky tannin. Nutmegs. Fairly nutty with almonds & walnuts. Malt becomes equally pronounced as time goes by. Marshmallow. A fair amount of bitter wood getting increasingly excessive (-). |

Long, fruity finish with a touch of oily oak lingering. A very mild touch of wood smoke at the end. |
A lot of people liked this because this is the only intensively sherried one in the release.
Unbelievably soft for the 58%. Very pleasant fruity-floral nose. I like it, but it is clearly too expensive.

Strong sherry nose, lacquer, tire rubber. Then there are raisins and a fresh note of herbs like lemon thyme. Wet grass like after a rain in a forest clearing |

Unfortunately, the scotch numbs the tongue at the start, like a beginning anesthesia. The tongue becomes a bit thick and pepper covers everything |

A crisp, sharp finish. Certainly very good to enjoy with Coke and unfortunately not worth the money at all. I'm happy to be able to taste a sample, I wouldn't want a whole bottle of it. |

Colour: dark amber. Nose: dried fruits, raisin, furniture polish, oak, chocolate, leather, almond, cacao. As usual I wait from sherry whisky strong sweet aroma which make powerful impact in nose. But Blair Athol has a very delicate sherry aroma. You can fall in love to it from first sniff. Mouth: dried fruits, allspices, oak dryness, furniture polish, raisin. Also Blair Athol is very delicate on palate, whiteout powerful dryness, which you can wait after 23 years maturation in sherry cask. Finish: long, spices, dried fruits, chocolate, oak, black pepper, varnish notes. This whisky has very good balance, delicate and sweet aroma and taste. It’s like a sherry bomb, but a very delicate bomb.
Blind tasting. Great sherry malt with very well integrated alcohol.

very expensive, distillery character not noticeable to me, good as sherry whisky, but whether from Blair Athol or from Tomatin or ...... is not recognizable to me. A collector's whisky.

For the price of this one, I'm happy I just got a sample. Just unspectatular, a bit challenging, and not worth the price tag. Review here: https://youtu.be/tbhrUWILyH0

Old leather, cut tobacco leaves, and a large dose of dried chili flakes. Lots of pepper and dryness. Leaves very vague tobacco smoke and lots of oak. Not a pleaser. Around 15 minutes after the glass is empty, bubblegum flavours show up. |
Grandma's Sherry Aso is delicious overall.
