Bewertung dieser Flasche
Qualitätsvergleich aller Flaschen

Alle Geschmacksbewertungen
Geschmack: ölig, Rauch, Eiche, Meer, Salz, Pfeffer, Würze, Gewürze,
Abgang: lang, extrem rauchig (phenolisch, Gummireifen), Pfeffer, etwas Schokolade, leicht herbe Eiche, hinten raus kommen Süße, Zitrusnoten und etwas grüner Apfel
Kommentar: feines Stöffchen
Geschmack: verbrannter Reifengummi wie beim Burn-Out, runder süßer Pfeifenrauch, Teer
Abgang: zuerst angenehme dann gallig penetrant werdende Bitterkeit, Geschmack eines vollen Aschenbechers, milde Sprittigkeit
Kommentar: Dieser Whisky ist extrem unausgewogen und hat mit dem Thema Meer nichts gemein. Wer salzig-algige ausgewogene Meeresaromen sucht, dann lieber einen Tobermory 15 year old.










Little fruit or distillery character initially. Strong earthy barley and that often absent Ardbeg note of smoked ham and fish - think honey-glazed Unagi.
Round, oily palate with a touch of sweetness. Rarely found in current releases, reminds me of the glory days of the "Almost there" and original Uigeadail releases 10-12 years ago. The smoke quality is almost only medium, but deliciously present and lingering. Does not need water, but takes it well.
The "fresh" casks integrate seamlessly without any char or tannin.
After a few days of opening, the Malt opens up, and some signature Ardbeg characters of candied citrus and stewed fruit appear, while the palate becomes slightly warmer and grittier.
The real winner is the finish, which leaves you with earth, smoked fish and campfire for minutes. Wish I had bought more, and can only hope the regular release will be comparable.







Taste:









Finish:






Comment: Very nice, but very different than other Ardbegs, the smoke is not as prominent, well balanced and salty.

Taste: A buoy of high quality pure malt spirit is tossed about by a tempestuous current of dark green herbs, bitter cacao, fresh coffee, black pepper, and peeled sugar cane swimming alongside hickory smoked fish
Finish: Smoky brine drifts ever onward.
Comment: But show really starts when you add a Tablespoon or two of water. I can't wait for the broader release to come out next month!
With a portion matured in virgin European oak from near the Black Sea, Kelpie is aptly named for a mythic shapeshifting aquatic nature spirit, as its unbridled flavors gallop along, ever changing around a golden heart swathed in seaweed.
"But that sinewy tendril of seaweed winding its way through the palate acts like savory herbs for the tasty elements of raw cacao, roasted coffee, maple sugars, buttery scallops, a dab of vanilla bean to go with the coconut, and a ghostly memory of smoked fish. And that scrumptious nutmeg continues to surface, along with other spices bobbing up from the deeper riptides of this compelling dram with the deceptively serene looks of a burnished sauternes lake."
