Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы описывают Waterford Hook Head 1.1 как молодой, но выразительный виски с солёно-морскими, травянистыми и пряными нотами; мнения о балансе и глубине расходятся — от восторга до разочарования.

развернуть подробно

В текстах чаще всего отмечается молодость виски (около трёх лет) и при этом неожиданная для такого возраста выразительность: маслянистая текстура, средняя или средне-длинная финишная нота, разнообразие вкуса. Повторяющиеся мотивы — солоновато-морской характер (морской бриз, соль, «прибрежный» оттенок), травянисто-зелёные и землистые тона, а также пряность (перец, имбирь, гвоздика, чили). Нос нередко описывают как фруктово-сладкий (мёд, карамель, тоффи, ирис, абрикос, цитрус), иногда с цветочными, зерновыми или «фермерскими» нотами; в отдельных отзывах упоминаются клейкие, дымные, мясные или резиновые оттенки. Вкус описывают как полный и маслянистый, сладко-пряный, с сухой дубовой горечью и цитрусовой цедрой; финиш — от приятного и пряного до короткого, сухого и горького. Согласия по оценке нет: часть отзывов хвалит виски как уникальный, характерный и хорошо сложенный для своего возраста, отмечая глубину и интересное напряжение во вкусе; другие считают его несбалансированным, слишком пряным, незрелым или «не своим» по стилю, с резким алкоголем и коротким финишем. Несколько отзывов прямо указывают на простоту аромата и недостаток сложности, а один — на резко отрицательное впечатление. Общего консенсуса по вкусовому профилю в текстах не формируется: скорее это набор пересекающихся, но расходящихся описаний.

Wonderfully medicinal, a true coastal whiskey, and not only because of the power of suggestion. What especially speaks for this whiskey is how nice and fresh the taste experience is. Tasted head-to-head with the Bannow Island 1.2 and it has a lot more earthy tones. The contrast between these different terroir is very noticeable, which gives Waterford's mission all the more power. Compliments!

I tasted this whiskey blindly. Once again, I didn't know what to expect. The first impression gives me the smell of glue, but it disappears quickly. It turns into herbs, not so extreme that you think you're standing in front of a herbal candy stand at the Christmas market, but it is already in the direction of dark green ground plants. Somehow slightly floral and a touch of fruit cake. At that point, I was hoping it wasn't an Asian. The taste is surprising. Strong, well over 46%, cask strength? Here I feel everything, just nothing floral anymore. More like a hint of burnt meat, ginger and liquorice or liquorice. A little maritime breeze mixes in. I think a little of Highland Park The Dark, but only a little. The finish is strong but pleasant, not too long. Overall I am very satisfied. Nose: 20 Key: 23 Finish: 22 Total package: 23 = 88 Conclusion: A three year old Irishman with 50% from the coast, Waterford, a first for me. Can something, I could imagine in my collection. I.

The fact that you get a medium-long and varied finish at an age of: 3 years, 8 months and 25 days (06/2017 - 02/2021) is pretty amazing - even if you already have this phenomenon with the other Waterfords is accommodated. So they're doing something pretty right down there. Maybe starting with an impressive fermentation time of 142 hours? When it comes to barrel composition, the focus is on 1st-Fill Casks (46% First Fill US, 22% Virgin US, 15% Premium French, 17% Vin Doux Naturel). Hook Head 1.1 is less chocolaty than, for example, Sheestown 1.2, but more fruity and spicy with a pleasant spiciness. I could very well imagine it as a peated edition.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	89	Malt, nougat, toffee, caramel - the aroma quartet that is the prelude in the nose of every Waterford I've had in my glass. In different forms, different intensities, but always there. So this is something that should be terroir-independent. Here now the aforementioned aromas in an intensive execution, accompanied by yeast dough and fresh grass clippings. Apricot jam, quince jelly. Slightly salty, maybe even a bit maritime with sea spray. With it a good portion of cayenne pepper, rosemary, thyme.
Вкус	88	As usual, strong and mouth-filling, the 50% suit him just as well as his brothers. Fruity and spicy with fresh apricots, apple pieces, quince. Milk chocolate, nougat and marzipan are there, although less pronounced than you might think based on the nose. A fresh and salty breeze from the sea, with pepper, chili powder, turmeric, cinnamon.
Финиш	88	Medium-long finish, slightly dry. Here the chocolate notes develop to their full potential and then also bring cocoa, nougat and marzipan bread with them. Sounds spicy and only slightly fruity.

Similar to another Waterford I had before. The nose is bright, young and shy, but the taste surprises with fullness and viscosity that you wouldn't expect. I understand why people do not like this and it is also expensive, but I did enjoy this.

An expressive, highly aromatic whiskey, which, compared to other Waterfords, with its gentle salty-lemony notes, develops more depth for me and, especially in the finish, an interesting tension and a crisp bite. Of the four Waterfords I've tried so far, this is my favorite.

St. Pauli Connoisseur 82 05 may 2021 10:32 pm

This whiskey has a friendly and welcoming nose, but appears to be not that balanced in the mouth. You would think to get a creamy, buttery, malty and fruity whiskey but it is gradually overpowered by spice which brings quite some cloying sensations.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	84	Fresh Belgian waffles with hot cherries and cream is what comes to mind first. Then, cinnamon, lemon milkshake, pear drop, vanilla and honey. Although a bit alcoholic and maybe, it's very friendly overall and doesn't come across as many NAS whiskies.
Вкус	82	Quite full bodied, rather sweet at first but with drying oak following put. It's a tad hot from the alcohol. It's earthier and more herbal now, with liquorice root and sage. Digestive biscuit, lemon balm, forest fruit, drying ginger powder and clove. Not as promising as on the nose.
Финиш	80	The spicy character stays and lasts for quite a while. What has given some structure has become quite dominant. Pepper, ginger clove overpower notes of vanilla biscuit, soft wood, rich barley and lemon zest.

I've had a few Waterford's in the last year. Not bad. They keep on surprising me. Special taste. This Hook Head 1.1 is not bad; dry and sweet with a lot of toffee and a lot of grains. The nose is the best; beautiful complex juniper scents that give off a lot of depth. Taste is good, bit winy even... Finish is disappointing. Short, dry and gone after a handful minutes. A young distillate but not bad.

Нос	87	Young, sweet, toffee and a hint of juniper berries. Creamy. A lot of grains and cereal. Even a bit grassy. Touch of green apples. Not bad! Especially the juniper scent is marvoulous
Вкус	80	Dry and grainy. Toffee again. Taste of the distillate is there. Grains, wheat and then more grains. Cereals. And also... Bit wine-like... Think of Vin-Doux-Naturel / Moscatel. After some oxidation we have more sweetness and less mineral wine aromas. Ginger. Hint of anise. Hint of apples again. Butter.
Финиш	74	Short. Toffee. Cacao bitters. Cereals. Bit sharp. Nutty touch, like crunched walnuts. Bit

The aroma is simple and ordinary, with faint notes of grass and lemon. The taste is pleasantly sweet and elegant, but lacks complexity.

WhiskyLovingPianist Connoisseur 85 20 apr 2022 8:17 pm

https://whiskeylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2022/04/20/spotlight-on-waterford/ Hook Head farm produces a “thin skinny” barley. N: A characterful [Cornish seaweed] vegetal-like malt if also rather similar to the Grantansbrook in certain respects. T: There’s a subtle quirkiness to this one coming out from salty maritime idiosyncrasies coupled with a winey lactic note. A tricky one to pin down. F: Vanilla < cream in keeping with the Grattansbrook. C: Characterful at first if becoming a bit same-y by the end, especially with the addition of water.

Whiskysteffi Member Senior 91 02 oct 2023 11:58 pm

In County Wexford, Ireland, there is the Hook Head peninsula (Irish: Rinn Duáin), at the tip of which is the lighthouse of the same name. Farmers have to fight hard for the barley, especially during storms when seawater washes onto the field. The whiskey tastes unique, salty and pleasantly Irish. You can taste the rough land on the coast in the whiskey...

1741) Waterford, 2017/2021, 3YO, Single Farm Origin, Hook Head Edition 1.1

markjedi1 Connoisseur 81 14 feb 2026 9:40 am

Men's magazine This is another Single Farm Edition from Waterford, of which a whopping thirty thousand bottles were released. The Irish distillery has been in receivership since November 2024, and it doesn't look like buyers will be found anytime soon. This could mean that the assets of this young distillery will soon be auctioned. The nose is all over the place, I have to say. On the one hand, delicately sweet, floral, and fruity, but on the other, also a touch dirty. Rotting autumn leaves, so to speak. And cardboard. Underneath that, there's a touch of fresh pastry, mint, and snuff with a soft spiciness. Not bad, but I'm not impressed either. The whiskey doesn't seem to know where to go... The flavor isn't exactly consistent either. Vanilla and apples up front, veiled with a touch of mint, followed by a strong herbal note (green herbs) and spices in the form of cardamom and black pepper. Dare I say I find it a bit of a "little man's leaf"? I can't make head or tail of it. The finish is relatively long, starting very sweet but then becoming spicy and dry. The alcohol bites a bit on the palate. This whiskey is named after a headland with a lighthouse about 50 kilometers west of Wexford Town. Apparently, it's the oldest lighthouse in Ireland, but that's beside the point. This whiskey wasn't my cup of tea.

Don Cassi Expert Senior 80 09 aug 2021 7:22 pm

The nose starts with honey and caramel, fleshy fruits, overripe apples and a dusty note of malt. Very full and fruity in the mouth, plus sweet and sour. In the finish, a nice, bitter chocolate note spreads out, which slowly fades away. Here and there some white pepper and a few sweet apples flash out. Length: 5/10 Nice, multi-layered composition, the chocolate in the finish is awesome Grade: 2+

A young whiskey from a relatively new Irish distillery.

thijs100 Connoisseur 86 15 apr 2021 3:15 pm

Rather a little less approachable than the Cooladine, the Hook Head 1.1 is a little more austere.

VISION_CHEN Expert Junior 83 12 nov 2021 9:49 am

Nose: Almond biscuits, nougat, orange meat, wet paper skin, grainy, meaty baked products, such as chicken biscuits from southern China, the aroma level is relatively simple, but the picture is uniform, if not very sensitive If so, this bottle of wine won't hurt you. Drink: Super oily, ginger, grapefruit honey, caramel, the end rhyme will produce sweetness and saliva in the mouth, a fresh experience. Overall: I believe that as long as the quality and expressiveness are online, and no one is hurt, no matter what the tune is, you will find someone who loves you.
