Суммаризация отзывов
В текстовых отзывах часто упоминается сочетание лёгкого торфяного дыма и красных фруктов, а также влияние бочек из-под красного вина Бордо. В [r1] отмечают «gentle smoke», ягодность, немного tannic и pepper, а также cocoa и hazelnut в финише; в [r5] — грейпфрутовый, вишнёвый и яблочный сок, лёгкий торф и травянистость, вино ощутимо, но не доминирует; в [r8] — букет из клубники, малины, красных фруктов, инжира, апельсина, кожи, морской соли и мяты, а во вкусе — «fruit salad» красных ягод, поджаренный тост с апельсиновым джемом, дуб и мёд; в [r10] — «lightly peated Bordeaux», кислые тёмно-красные винные фрукты, мягкое дерево, лёгкий торф, морская солёность, шоколад и полироль для мебели; в [r14] — торфяной дым, минеральность, апельсины, миндаль, фундук, перец, мускатный орех, инжир и марципан, а во вкусе — клубника, спелые яблоки и груши, чёрная смородина, карамель, тоффи и шоколад; в [r31] — «strawberry cream», землянистость, розе, виноградный сок и «rough edges». Некоторые прямо связывают профиль с молодостью: в [r18] говорят о «great abundance of flavors», но и о «moments of unbalanced youth»; в [r16] называют виски «Promising», но считают бочки из-под красного вина и, вероятно, virgin oak слишком доминирующими, а финиш — слишком быстрым и сухим; в [r19] — «Unbalanced, aggressive», с намёком на красные фрукты и белый перец; в [r24] — «I just can't stand this red wine flavours in my whisky»; в [r21] — «Personally too dry for me because of the red wine»; в [r3] — «Definitely not mine» с уксусом, кожей, резиной, овощами и «sweaty sneekers»; в [r7] — резкая критика: «What a mess», пересоленная малина, битум, горелая древесина, и предположение, что без лишней бочки из-под красного вина было бы вкусно. При этом несколько отзывов отмечают, что виски лучше без воды [r4] или что вода помогает по-разному: в [r1] вода полезна при 52%, в [r15] вода добавляет фруктов во вкусе и финише, но нос быстро теряет аромат, в [r16] с водой нужно быть осторожным, так как вкус и финиш быстро разваливаются, в [r30] с водой винная бочка проявляется сильнее, а дым остаётся тонким. Также в отзывах встречаются замечания не о вкусе, а о цене и перепродаже: в [r9] предупреждают не поддаваться хайпу и утверждают, что высокие оценки ставят перекупщики; в [r20] выражают сожаление из-за перепродажи по 600+ € при начальной цене 99 GBP; в [r2] упоминают вторичные цены на 3-летний виски при rrp £99; в [r25] отмечают, что тираж, похоже, больше 7500 бутылок.

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2021/04/01/blind-leading-the-blind-a-juicy-revision-session/ Still in keeping with our serendipitous red wine theme, it’s the perfect time to bring out Raasay’s inaugural release, made up from 121 casks. Let’s remind ourselves of the wood policy/makeup, as outlined by Alastair Day last year: Virgin Chinkapin, Ex-Woodford Reserve Rye, and Ex-Bordeaux Red Wine – peated and < unpeated. Further reading: [WLP]. C: Boy, would you look at the secondary prices for this rrp-£99 3yo !! Still, that’s nothing on Dornoch. Initial impressions only [as it’s getting on]: this whisky is – as expected – very ok, and without any blatant STR or forced PX etc,. profiling – yay! Still, is it a little sweet? Well yes, but no more so than many of the previous red wine-influenced drams enjoyed this evening. Great job. Provisionally scores [+/-]82 points

I think it's great to be able to drink it. They did well. Not a high-flyer (where should that come from anyways?), but I'm looking forward to drinking it again. Maybe compared to something else from the distillery. Full review, including some cask samples (German): https://keinehalbendrinks.de/2021/02/17/six-spirits-of-christmas-und-ein-inaugural-release/

Нос 86 Grapefruit juice, cherry juice, apple juice. Maybe even in the direction of lemonade or soft-drink. It is also slightly peaty. And I find grass, fresh from the lawnmower.
Вкус 85 Light smoke and bitter notes. The wine is clearly noticeable, but not extremely dominant. With a few turns in the mouth it becomes dry and can also produce fruit again.
Финиш 85 Makes your belly nice and warm. The dry red wine at the back is very clearly present. Nuts and again the fruits from the beginning.

Poor fruit from raspberries, strawberries to mango with extra mash, bitumen and eagle owl and some smoke. Strawberries and raspberries that are oversalted in the mouth with fresh tar, charred wood and burnt pudding. Finish: bitumen, over-salted raspberries. What a mess, after smelling I put 1.8cl back into the sample bottle. Without the superfluous red wine barrel it would probably have been delicious. 50 points. Thanks to Korhorry for opening this too. image

I was initially skeptical about Raasay whiskies. I didn't really like the first one, and the price is quite high for a young whisky. This one, however, managed to charm me to a limited extent. They certainly don't distill standard whiskies and distinguish themselves with a unique and distinctive flavor profile. You either love it or hate it. Taste is and always will be a subjective matter.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 87 It needs some time in the glass before the aroma profile fully unfolds. A fruity bouquet of strawberries, raspberries, red fruit, dried figs, orange, and a touch of orange peel. The whole thing is finished with a touch of lightly burnt honey, a touch of leather, a pinch of sea salt, and a mint leaf. The wine barrel finish is certainly not hidden.
Вкус 87 A fruit salad of red berries, strawberries, raspberries, and a few musty apricots. We add a lightly charred toast with orange jam and finish it off with subtle oak and floral honey. We finish with a touch of leather, subtle dark chocolate, and orange zest.
Финиш 86 The finish is medium-long with red fruit notes of strawberries and raspberries. The slightly burnt toast with orange jam is also present. There's also quite a bit of tannin and hints of walnut and oak.
Schubi Member Senior 20 dec 2020 4:48 pm
Don't fall for the hype. This might be a limited first release of a 3-year-old (!) whisky, but the high ratings come from scalpers who just bought it to resell it at once here or on ebay. Don't give them your money.
peatbogger Specialist 86 20 dec 2020 10:46 pm
Thanks to kfhakan for the sample. Raasay have without doubt done everything in the book to present the Inaugural as something special. And as a 3 year old single malt it actually is. Too bad that a lot of these first releases will be sitting on shelves as investments. For those that pop the bottle and drink it, it will without doubt create confidence to buy the coming regular release. The question however is if the "normal" distillate can live up to this "premium cut".
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 85 This smells like lightly peated Bordeaux. There's all the sour dark red wine fruits with soft wood and light peat notes. It's got a maritime saltiness, rocky beach and ocean waves. Chocolate, and every now and then a waft of furniture polish. Clean and very well integrated alcohol.
Вкус 88 The stated "premium narrow cut" comes through in the taste. This is very good spirit by any measure, and an amazing 3 year old. Creamy texture. Sweet, and the fruit is not as "dark" as expected. The peat is almost not noticeable here. Lots of spice, but not to a level that I felt my sample needed water.
Финиш 86 Past medium length, sweet. Raspberry and light chocolate.

with water: you have to be very careful, the nose can handle some water, but on the tongue and in the finish it breaks down pretty quickly Conclusion: as the nerd likes to say when he wants to say something nice: Promising. I really like the peat smoke character, but the red wine barrels are too dominant for me, as are the virgin oak barrels that are probably used in some cases. Yes, you have to somehow stuff aromas into a 3-year-old whisky, so I understand this choice of barrel. Give the malt good ex-bourbon barrels and 10-12 years - then it could really become something. Promising.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 81 pleasant peat smoke that does not come with brute force, it alternates between mineral and smoked ham, otherwise some red berries, slightly mushy strawberries and a few raspberries, very subtle vanilla and a little wood spice shine through, the alcohol tingles quite nicely in the nose, herbs (bay leaf), malt / Weetabix, some salt, but overall quite restless in the nose
Вкус 79 quite thin on the tongue, some red fruits, then the peat smoke, which shows more mineral aspects, also some salt, more wood aromas than expected, then a thick, fat sweetness of strawberry compote comes along
Финиш 77 Ohh, it's gone quickly, quite dry at the end, now more ashy smoke, slightly maritime, like pigment and cloves, here you can also notice the very young character of the bottling most clearly
whisky313 Specialist 86 16 aug 2020 8:17 am
official information: The Isle of Raasay Single Malt Inaugural Release is lightly peated with rich dark fruit flavours. This limited edition first release is matured in first fill American oak, and finished in 21 exclusive first fill Bordeaux red wine casks. Bottled at 52% abv, non-chill filtered and natural colour. Our Inaugural Release bottles will be sequentially numbered at the time of bottling. We have created an elegant, lightly peated (15-20 Peat or Phenol Parts Per Million) single malt by taking a premium, narrow cut of our spirit run. 100% Scottish barley is mashed with mineral-rich water from our well to produce a wash that ferments for three to five days. These long fermentations, combined with the manganese from our water, create sweet blackberry characteristics in our spirit before it even touches the oak of the cask. From mashing to bottling – Raasay water is used throughout production, adding character to the spirit at every stage. Falling as rain on Dùn Cana, the island’s highest peak, our water flows across volcanic rock and filters through Jurassic sandstone into our distillery well, known as Tobar na Ba Bàine (the Well of the Pale Cow). Our high quality American oak barrels develop almond, hazelnut, and sweet spice flavours in the spirit, and the previous bourbon contents develop caramel, toffee, and creamy chocolate notes.The final maturation in French oak casks develops savoury spice flavours, and the Bordeaux red wine infused oak brings rich dark fruit notes to the fore. Our inaugural release spirit is a one-off expression matured in American oak and finished in Bordeaux red wine casks. This release is the all-important link between our lightly peated, fruity independent bottling, Raasay While We Wait Single Malt, and our forthcoming signature Isle of Raasay Single Malt, released in 2021.

Нос 86 fine and salty smoke is compact in the foreground, thin slices of smoked ham with a little bacon and subtle leather, raisins, plus thick vanilla and caramel, after a short time these aromas recede a little and the red wine can be noticeable with red fruits such as strawberries and pomegranate , Cherry accents and ripe plum, occasional hints of dark chocolate, the fruity-dirty overall impression is always preserved, apricot jelly, lots of red currants with rhubarb notes, minimal oak wood
Вкус 85 Significantly less of the salty smoke, but still very delicate and earthy-greasy, sweetish malt, slightly astringent with spicy oak, hints of dark chocolate, again strawberries and other red fruits in a red-wine milieu, creamy and dirty, red currants and sour cherries, cardamom and clove, tobacco, menthol

For a first release I would have preferred either a bourbon or sherry maturation - the red wine cask sometimes hides a multitude of sins, but here it struggles to mask it at all. Unbalanced, aggressive - reminds me of a few politicians.

Нос 83 Plum jam or compote, a whiff of smoke (green twigs) with a hint of cloves and white pepper.
Вкус 81 The mouthfeel is best described as wet - the taste disappears pretty quickly with a hint of red fruit, leaving quite a burn afterwards.
Финиш 80 Medium - the main note is a white pepper that seems to linger for a while.

Initial Price at distillery 99 GBP. I seriously don't know (ok, maybe I have a guess) why people put up a beautiful high rating and set it for 600+ € for sale and then daily / weekly lower the price tag (to still ridicously expectations...). This just makes me sad.

It exudes its aroma even before I put my nose in the glass: A nice sweetness, a little smoke, bitter herbs. Then take a closer look at wood glue, spices. Very powerful in the beginning, really voluminous. The taste is reminiscent of a Kilchoman. Lots of laurel, little wood, a hint of smoke. Very nice...

Bottle No. 3439: The color does not matter in principle, but the beautiful amber-Bordeau color in this great bottle makes a difference. Full points are awarded for the presentation and presentation. I got the bottle straight from the still (reserved in spring). My wishes for this first edition: Fruity, grassy and salty notes, which have a connection to the samples already tasted (26 months storage). After the tasting: It is difficult to assign the right points for a very young malt. The Raasay is already well integrated, it is harmonized.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 87 Bottle open: There is a sea tank, liquorice and smoke on the cork. In the glass: some lacquer and leather, currant, subtle smoke (fine cigar). After 2-5 minutes, grass comes with light-colored fruit, maybe even apple and apricot. You can feel the sea, salt and liquorice. In the hand: very fruity and slightly charred fresh oak. Back to the glass: some cherry, subtle glue (very subtle, but good), chocolate with salted caramel, the berries don't get darker but more sour. But the smoke evaporates a little. Second round with water: the wine barrel comes through more, the smoke remains nice and subtle. Everything like without water, but more direct and a little more oak.
Вкус 86 very pleasant, mouth-filling, apricot, (sour) cherry, little smoke, salt. The alcohol is very well integrated. Saliva stimulating, medicinal, salmiak / liquorice, fruity but not sherry, some tannin, dry. With water: still nice and creamy, pleasing. Reminds of a good wine with a salty note and the smoke comes through a little more (very easily).
Финиш 85 The fruit (red and sour) and the full mouth remain. Longer than expected for a three year old. Slight (finely smoky) numbness in the peripheral areas. Overall different than expected, but tasty and promising. I'm looking forward to more.

Nose: slightly smoky, strawberry cream, dirty, earthy, rosé, grape juice Mouth: strawberry and raspberry mix as a cream candy, extremely fruity, again a bit dirty background, slightly smoky. Definitely has rough edges, but I like them very much. Conclusion: Wow - three years? Blind I would have been extremely wrong here, definitely tastes older. Really a good first release that is great fun on more!
