Суммаризация отзывов

Cladach — сложный и насыщенный blended malt с дымно-торфяными, морскими/солёными и сладкими нотами (ваниль, мёд, цитрус, фрукты, шерри, шоколад, специи). Мнения расходятся: часть хвалит гармонию и длинный финиш, другие отмечают резкость, дисгармонию, излишнюю алкогольность и высокую цену.

развернуть подробно

В отзывах Cladach описывают как сложный и насыщенный blended malt с дымными, торфяными и морскими/солёными нотами, дополненными сладостью, ванилью, мёдом, цитрусовыми и фруктами; неоднократно упоминаются шерри, шоколад, специи и перец. Вкус часто характеризуют как солёный, маслянистый, иногда горький и дубовый, с дымным и пряным финишем разной длины. Виски называют очень «прибрежным» (солёный, морской, с дымком), при этом достаточно полнотелым и солодово-сладким, с тропическими и цитрусовыми фруктами, воском, карамелью и специями; дым и торф чаще названы умеренными, не подавляющими остальные ноты, хотя отдельные отзывы отмечают «сильно торфяной» и «дымный» характер. Также его описывают как зрелый и сложный, с узнаваемым характером входящих дистиллерий, восковым, медовым и солёно-морским профилем с лёгким дымом, нотами тропических фруктов, цитруса и специй; вкус — маслянистый и солёный, с ягодами, дубовой пряностью и чили, а финиш — долгий, травянистый, с дымом, воском и сухой перечной остротой. Мнения о балансе и крепости расходятся: часть отзывов хвалит гармоничную композицию и «старомодный» торф, тогда как один прямо говорит об отсутствии «слияния и гармоничной интеграции» — каждый дистиллят угадывается отдельно. Часть отзывов отмечает, что виски требует нескольких капель воды, иначе слишком одномерен, но при избытке воды становится скучным; другие предпочитают добавлять воду, которая убирает горечь и делает профиль слаще, тогда как часть отмечает, что он хорош и неразбавленным. Есть и критика: слишком алкогольный и «закрытый» характер, вкус «слишком молодого Ardmore», «немного резкий» вкус, кратко «вяжущий» финиш, а также редкое замечание про мел и мыло с предположением, что образец испортился. Главный повторяющийся недостаток — слишком высокая цена, из-за которой один из дегустаторов счёл виски хорошим, но не стоящим своих денег. В целом виски считают недооценённым и хорошим по цене, с длинным или средне-длинным финишем.

Hints of peat, sweetness, burnt sugar and caramel, citrus and green apples. Taste: Peat more dominant, species and pepper, astringent mouth feel, dry Dry, warming finish

KIMCHIBaby Connoisseur 86 06 jul 2024 3:30 pm

Diageo’s blended malt has a different charm from Johnnie Green. The peat feels like something between green and island green. The scent was bright, but the taste and finish were darker than I expected, so it was an interesting drink.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	87	N) Peat, earth, daisy, green apple, apple, peach, honey Maybe it's because it's a NAS, but the alcohol smell is stronger than expected. There is a slight peatiness and earthy smell. There is also a daisy-like white flower scent, and when combined with the earthy scent, it feels like lying down on the ground and smelling the daisy flowers. The green apple scent and the ripe fruity scent of red apple and peach are impressive.
Вкус	86	P) Green apple, malty, yogurt, honey, dark chocolate, dust, charcoal, ash First, I feel green apple, malty flavor, and yogurt. The taste is more malty than fruity. As you continue to savor it, you can feel the peatiness of dust, charcoal, and ash. A taste that emphasizes lagavulin.
Финиш	86	F) Smokey, ash, apple, salt chocolate, oily The finish seems to emphasize the salty taste of Talisker. Once the smokiness and harshness of ash pass, the scent of ripe apples and the sweet and salty taste of salt chocolate remain. The sweetness disappears quickly and the salty taste lingers for a long time. The oiliness also lasts for a long time.

StefanKatonaXXL Expert Senior 89 17 may 2025 11:58 pm

A very pleasant surprise, it definitely exceeded my relatively high expectations. A very complex, rich and luxurious blend. Very nice and sweet notes of fragrant flowers, exotic fruits, chocolate and fine peat. The taste is pleasantly malty, slightly woody, spicy, slightly chocolately bitter with a certain dose of smoke and ground coffee.

weiqingtoh Expert Junior 86 18 nov 2025 10:45 am

Features a nice coastal smoke at the background, with several other elements coming and going at different points. Feels pretty (too?) complex on the nose / finish, but the mouth was somewhat straightforward. Color: Deep gold Nose: Lightly charred wood by the sea, cream crackers, faint hint of malt in the background. With time, spice, vanilla, apples takes over. Mouth: Oily, waxy, bitter, leather. Finish: Briny at the start, and some maritime smoke and brown sugar reveals itself a little later.

Нос	—	Yes, there I have a talisker, but also sweet smoke, vanilla, fair and light fruits. Pretty nice. Also an interesting spice palette. Much has to be insulated, but difficult to separate. Is more complex than the first Appears. Caol ila and lagavulin merge and are difficult to separate. But you can recognize them as well as the talisker. To be honest, I don't find the rest in the smell, because the smoke is too strong .. After a while, there will definitely be citrus and pears
Вкус	—	Ash, maritime, salty, honey, vanilla, pepper, wumms.anise, liquorice, you can find the smoky ones if you know but only guess at the clynelish and inchgower. But all in all a great part. Fruit is definitely included. Ginger and ash again
Финиш	—	Ash and some wood, a little pepper but also caramel

Horror_Vacui Expert Senior 87 28 oct 2018 9:09 am

N: First of all, there is a strong smoke, a very medical smoke like some young Caol Ila exude. From the smoke peel menthol and beautiful sherry notes with red fruits, some tobacco. The Sherrynoten are reminiscent of a blend of the Distillers Editions of Talisker and Lagavulin. Add to that the scent of a sea breeze. After some breathing, delicate aromas of furniture polish and old leather sofa come. Are there older barrels? M: A nice peppery onset, which comes out even stronger with a few drops of water. A beautiful multi-layered malt. Salty notes, red fruits, it always flashes oak spiciness, all interspersed with fine smoke. Q: long and smoky, light berry sweetness but after a while there is a bit of coin money left in the mouth.

LordBellamy Connoisseur 89 17 mar 2019 5:21 pm

Water: No, it is perfect in original strength Conclusion: Bämm, you can see here every single distillery, which combine into a great blended malt: the beeswax notes of Clynelish, the salt notes of Oban, the smoke flavors of Caol Ila and the heavy peat notes of Lagavulin, and in the finish the Talisker beats with his peppery finish by. The two lead malts are m. E. Clynelish and Talisker. Very nicely done!!!

Нос	90	Beeswax, yellow fruits (dried apricot), smoke and some peat, some pepper, a distinctly maritime salt note, sherry aromas with dark fruits and some raisins sparkle in between, even some tobacco can be found
Вкус	88	first dark sweetness with lots of caramel and toffee, then put through the peat notes, but also some smoke is there, as well as oak with cloves and leather polish
Финиш	88	medium to long, again the successful blend of waxy salty notes, sherry and peat and smoky notes, which end in a peppery finale

67conrad67 Expert Junior 88 12 oct 2021 11:44 pm

Smell: As expected, the smokers in the blend play a bit in the foreground, in addition to the subtle smoke also a maritime saltiness, which is perfectly accompanied by the waxy base tone of a Clynelish ... The proximity of the distilleries to the coast jumps in your nose almost figuratively - the interpretation However, I leave it to the finer noses in the base which Diageo branch contributes the respective nuance. Definitely a very differentiated whiskey, with fine salt caramel notes on the nose, freshly changed gear oil, but also yellow fruits and a hint of liquorice ... Taste: The alcohol is very warm at first, rather lean and freshly worked, again yellow fruits, again maritime salty with a subtle ash note, great balance, in the aftertaste a light sherry note, fine bitter note, medium to long aftertaste Color: yellow gold, medium water edge, clear Conclusion: It's fun - for the current tariff of less than 100 euros in Germany, a clear purchase recommendation and once again an advertising medium for the often underestimated category of well-made blended malts!

Tasted blind. Other than Compass Box, there aren’t that many true blended malts (rather than teaspooned malts) at the higher end. Which is kind of a shame. This shows they can be really good; not inferior to single malts, but harder to market. It’s not the most coastal whisky out there in my opinion, but it’s very tasty.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	—	Some peat, furniture polish, a bit of chocolate, and some herbs. Thyme, mint, parsley. An eclectic mix. Smells pretty green. Not much oak, but some seaweed. Get some fruit that I missed the first time, sort of smoky muskmelon and orange.
Вкус	—	Yeah, that’s peated, but not in any very familiar way. A vegetal flavor that’s somewhat like Ledaig. Also something reminds me of Lagavulin. Chocolate mint, and now some sherry notes pop up. Fig jam, dried cherries. Some fresh fruit as well. Cha shao pork, that kind of sweet and charred flavor. Nice richness, with a sprinkle of salt. Still hard to place. Melon here as well, and something tropical, too. Starfruit and some kiwi. Definite honey to it.
Финиш	—	Not much heat. Moderate oak, with a turn toward some fruitcake sort of spice here. Smoky and again slightly meaty with some caramelized sweetness. Lapsang souchong tea. Not heavily sherried, but it’s there. Or even red wine, maybe. Good length. Seems less smoky this time and I’m noticing the fruit more. Honey and malt.

The moment of tasting and blind-tasting a whisky is something special. The first time i had the Cladach, i quite liked it. this time i got it blindly at van Wees Whiskyworld in Amersfoort on the 3rd of Septemper 2025, and the combination of both the smoke, old school plasters and waxy honey really made me happy! just got myself another nice bottle!

Nose: Smells interesting, but very alcoholic. I also have: rubber, selenium, light Highland smoke, pine nuts, ozone, light sherry, hard cheese, honey, thorn apple. In contrast to many blended malts, this one definitely has character. Reminds me of smoky glenturrets (Ruadh Maor). At some point, sweetened condensed milk will appear in the background. At the moment I find it too impetuous - and also too closed. Palate: Very alcoholic. Tastes like a (too) young Ardmore. I don't like it at all. Finish: alcoholic, herbal, with liquorice. Conclusion: It was really not a pleasure.

A blended malt from the coastal distilleries of Diageo: Inchgower, Clynelish, Talisker, Oban, Caol Ila and Lagavulin. Matured in first-fill bourbon casks, refill hogsheads of American oak, refill butts of European oak and ex-bodega butts of European oak. Translation of Cladach is “coastline”.

What a cool whisky! It completely delivers on its coastal premise, while backing up all the salt with unexpectedly full-bodied maltiness. I like the tropical fruit and the non-overwhelming peat as well. It really does remind me of an IPA, both in terms of the actual flavours and in the sense of how bracing and refreshing the whisky is. I do enjoy Diageo’s normal special releases, but I’d love for them to bring back interesting blends like this and Collectivum for future releases.

Нос	—	ungently briny, with plenty of rock salt, but balanced by an unexpected malty richness - deep butterscotch, caramel corn, brown sugar, fresh-baked bread, oatmeal-raisin cookies, beer nuts. Salted grapefruit, green grapes, ginger. Moderate peat smoke, A hint of menthol. Sort of a light savouriness – prosciutto-wrapped melon, and shio ramen broth?
Вкус	—	Medium-thick texture. Arrives with salty peat, ham, citrus and sea grass, before enrichening into amber malt and honey. Tart citrus, pineapple, mango, and herbs – it’s an IPA! Hints of wine gums and star anise, as well as rock dust and watermelon rinds. Leather and scorched oak in the middle, with mild ash and some seaweed.
Финиш	—	Medium-length and coastal. Coastal, beach silt. Sweet citrus, pear, mango, yellow plums. Buttery pastries and buttered toast. Smashed cucumber salad. Charcoal. Lingering sea spray.

There is a smokiness in the background, but it's not weighing heavily. The taste stays put and warms the mouth and throat, but it's not sharp. Considering the whisky is most probably around the 100/120, I'd say it's well worth it's price.

Let’s get straight to the point. Solid 90 points for a NAS Diageo (!?) blend. I couldn’t have predicted it in advance, but this turned out to be (for me at least) one of the best modern peated drams out there. I got the bottle for around 100,-, and I would happily buy another bottle for the same price. What you get for this price is a very balanced dram with the characteristics of some of Diageo’s highlights, which harmonise wonderfully with each other. Some waxiness from Clynelish, malty and fruity notes from Oban, typical peaty maritime zesty Talisker, etc, all with a full coastal profile, a wonderfully restrained but tasteful old school peat (you don’t find this kind of smoke easily anymore) and thick mouth coating texture. It really deep, and keeps evolving; a nice large dram of this provides an neverending amount of notes over a two hour period. I could go on about this, but I think you get the point by now. To conclude, highly recommend, and I’ll be on the lookout for more malt blends with a restricted selection of known distilleries. I don’t know too much that falls into this category, but it’s an interesting premise.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	—	Restrained medicinal peat, lots of malt, honey, caramel, oats, salty coastal notes, light citrus - orange zest, a bit of white fruits, vanilla, ginger, pepper. Delicious nose.
Вкус	—	Zesty malty sweetness, with a syrupy texture. There’s smoke, but it’s a more old school style peatiness then most modern peated single malts I’ve had. Vanilla, pepper, ginger and ripe white fruits are next. There’s a grassy youthful touch as well, and the palate keeps evolving with every sip.
Финиш	—	Medium to long finish, with malty and salty caramel notes lingering with deep but soft peat.

Coastline Cladach is this year’s ‘secret bottle’, like Collectivum XXVIII was last year’s. In other words, this was revealed late in the game. Cladach means as much as ‘coastline’ and is a blended malt, composed of six coastal single malts: Coal Ila, Clynelish, Lagavulin, Oban, Inchgower and Talisker. This has got to be good, right? Hello! Immediate maritime elements on the nose (doh!) with salt, soot, seaweeds, oysters and a mild development of smoke. Blind, I might have mistaken this for a Lagavulin at first, which leads me to believe this is the dominant malt. But the typical pepperiness from Talisker is present as well, while the Clynelish takes care of a lovely waxy note. Some clear honey, limes and lemons, a leaf of mint and something that reminds me of butane gas, I kid you not. Some pastry, but all the way in the background. Know what? This is absolutely stunning. Great body and immediately quite dark and sooty on the palate. Great continuation of the nose with sweet and salty notes. Quite some smoke and soot, but soft and creamy at the same time, with smoldering wood, charcoal and liquorice, salt & pepper… You can almost chew this one! Medium long finish, but very balanced with an uppercut of vanilla at the death. This blended malt truly is more than just the sum of its parts. Value for money. It is yours for 160 EUR. I did not doubt and got me two bottles. Bring on a cold winter!

Nice and a different kind of blend. No marriage and harmonious integration, but each distillery can be guessed at depending on the situation.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	88	Surprisingly flowery and honey-like. A slight sea note slides underneath, but hidden. You can tell that there are individual distilleries and, to be honest, I think that's good. Very interesting and good that no attempt was made to involve everyone here. Light pipe tobacco is still recognizable as well as some sherry. With a deeper drag and a little time, the marine smoke notes come through stronger.
Вкус	87	Beeswax paired with dark cherry notes and a little caramel. Then the smoke comes only gradually. The honey sweetness remains. The smoke now settles on the tongue and remains. The flavor of the alcohol strength is easy to hear.
Финиш	87	Medium length. Salt notes come out very, very strongly. Here you can clearly see the influence of the Islay. A slight chili match of the Talisker can also be seen.

This was really good. I had no idea what to expect going into it as the theme of Diageo “coastal” (or nearly coastal) distilleries sounded a bit gimmicky, but this was easily one of my favorite blends. It really hit that sweet pool chemical note, the one that defined youthful summers. It is a note that I strongly associate with hotel swimming pools as well, and no childhood hotel visit was complete without an evening swim in a very well chlorinated hotel pool.

Нос	—	Fruity, malty, with just a kiss of smoke off a backyard grill. Sweet citrusy lime, melon, and watermelon rind give way to warm oatmeal cookies with vanilla icing. Faintly herbal notes emerge along with salt, smoke, and sweet acrid pool chemicals.
Вкус	—	Medium to light body it opens sweet and salty with a hint of swimming pool chemicals. Lovely sweet citrus oil, grapefruit, dried tropical citrus, melon rinds, and condensed milk. Maltiness comes through at the end with caramelized sugar and lemon juice inside a toasty crêpe.
Финиш	—	Lingering vanilla, citrus, and caramelized plantains.

Blind tasting. Very nice. But not for the price.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	—	Pretty fresh. Menthol. Pear. Apple cider. Citrus fruits. White grapes. A little vanilla. Freshly cut wood. In addition smoke. But not too strong. Such a mixture between wood smoke and peat smoke.
Вкус	—	In the mouth now a lot sweeter. Grape sugar. Wine gums. Sugar beets. Then it gets sharper and it seems to be the alcohol (against which I'm immune today). Which of course already has a clear start. Glazed ginger. Lime. Worn by the smoke.
Финиш	—	Lemon shower sticks. Now comes some licorice and things get drier. Accompanied by the smoke.

[Review sample from a half-full / half-empty bottle]

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	90	Olive brine, buttered, baked and slightly burnt potatoes garnished with rosemary twigs, crème caramel, thyme honey, salty sea spray, farmy and kippery peat smoke, greasy oilskin fresh off a fishing boat, wet lambswool, and an intriguing creamy waxiness (furniture polish, crayons). Really great texture and depth! Interesting: when I first opened this bottle (and perhaps for the longest part of its first half), my main aroma impression was sherried Lagavulin. Now that some air has gone into it, the peat intensity has reduced somewhat and I'm actually picking out the (grassy, fruity, spicy) Inchgower more clearly. Which isn't to say that the smoke has disappeared – it still walks a tightrope between farmy and coastal, and I still get the impression that this is not merely a huge vat of Caol Ila with some other malts teaspooned in (which might've been the most economical approach). You can actually catch whiffs of Talisker and at least imagine that this waxy, saline, maritime aspect derives from Clynelish and Oban. Definitely complex and well-matured: this never noses "young," and as I mentioned above, there's a good deal of sherried malt involved. If I had to guess, I'd put the medium age of the components at around 14-18 years. I love well-aged maritime malts, I'm a fan of pretty much every distillery involved here, so it should comes as no surprise that I love this nose. Over here in Germany, you can currently get a bottle for around 100 €, which, to my mind, is pretty good value.
Вкус	88	Intense, with spicy, herbal peat, a fat sweetness, and indeed some sherry. Camphor, rosemary, raisin bread, plum pudding, berry jam, lime juice, and a touch of fresh, spicy oak. If you like the Lagavulin Distiller's Edition and can handle higher strengths, you'll love this. Thick and rich and well drinkable at bottling strength. Again: apart from the initial herbal impression, I don't get the sense that Caol Ila is doing the heavy lifting here. My feeling on the tongue is: sweetly sherried, teenaged Lagavulin, some young and brash Talisker, a bit of active, spicy American oak, and a (less discernible) blend of the other coastal distilleries to fill in the gaps. It's simpler and more spice-centered on the palate than on the nose. Apart from a slightly raisiny PX sweetness, there's not a whole lot of fruity finesse going on, so we're dropping well below the 90-point-mark here, but it's still a hugely satisfying and powerful affair with a nice balance between brash peaty power and more refined, deeper, more "textural" elements.
Финиш	88	Before and as it goes down, it heats your gullet in a rather rustic manner (you definitely get the famous Talisker "chili catch"...). Then it unfolds on spicy oak, sherried sweetness (perhaps with only the tiniest touch of rubber), herbal honey, deep peat notes, and a lovely lingering salinity. Very long. Retains its considerable sweetness all the way through. If you like a more mellow finale, go for a diluted dram, which will still have a great nose but less of a bite at the death.

A really nice blended malt, in which the character of the distilleries in it is clearly recognizable. The Cladach doesn't have any age information, but it doesn't seem to be too young. He looks mature and quite complex. The only drawback, as with the special releases in general, is the too ambitious price.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	—	Right at the beginning a nice wax note, honey and a light smoke note. In addition, clear herbs and a salty, maritime note. The nose is complex and varied. The malts contained are easy to recognize, really nicely done.
Вкус	—	Oily and salty maritime on the tongue, then the beeswax here too. The start is strong, but in spite of the 57.1% it is also very nice undiluted. Later there are berries and oak seasoning.
Финиш	—	In the long finish there are lots of herbs, light smoke and wax again. In addition, dry, peppery oak spice and a slight note of salt.
