very modern charged sherry peat monster. You can do it - it doesn't stand out from the crowd.

Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают этот виски как современный шерри-торфяной релиз с дымом, тёмными фруктами и хамоном, но часто отмечают молодость, недостаток глубины и высокую цену за 0,5 л.
развернуть подробно
По текстовым отзывам (23 шт.) это торфяно-шерри композиция с выраженным дымом и тёмными фруктами. В носах и вкусах упоминаются дым, шерри, тёмные ягоды (ежевика, вишня), хамон, копчёный бекон, зола, асфальт, йод, кожа, дуб и шоколад. Несколько отзывов описывают маслянистую, тяжёлую текстуру и хорошую интеграцию алкоголя. При этом часть отзывов указывает на молодость и недостаток сложности/глубины, а также на то, что торф и шерри не всегда хорошо сочетаются. Цена за 0,5 л неоднократно называется завышенной, хотя есть и указание на изначальную цену около 70–75 EUR.
Консенсуса как такового в текстах нет: оценки варьируются от 80 до 92, и мнения расходятся — от «просто современный шерри-бочёнок» и «не большой хит» до «Wow! This is my whiskey» и «Bääääm! Heavy and fat!». Некоторые прямо пишут, что это «не очень хорошо сбалансировано» и «не мой вкус», другие — что это «хорошо для любителей торфа и шерри» и «рекомендуется».

Nose: A little disappointing for the price. Reminiscent of Classic of Islay, which, however, costs a third of it. But that reminds me of Classic of Islay. I was expecting a teaspooned Caol Ila, but it's more like a teaspooned lagavulin. Mainly because of the iodine note, which a Caol Ila does not have. The fruits that are just still there are also different, in other words: more exotic. Overall, however, the nose is very, very dry with little fruit, a lot of wood and a lot of iodine. It looks a bit better in the mouth than the nose suggests, but still not in a way that would justify the price. In addition to what I noticed in the nose, there is also heavily smoked ham, ash and asphalt. Finish: dry, long, furry, with iodine, even with Lugol's solution. Conclusion: This is not the big hit. Either that or I'm too spoiled.

Positive: wonderful smoke aroma and the alcohol is quite well integrated. Pleasant to drink. Negative: not particularly complex, no depth, young, almost no woody aroma at all, Totally overpriced. The color is enticing, but here with this whisky, it doesn't suffer at all. You have most likely used "wet" sherry casks with leftovers. For the price called, clearly no purchase recommendation. It's drinkable, but you don't have to have tasted it.

A clear improvement over Batch 1, which wasn't wrong either, but different. Of course still young, but I like the aromas he brings and how he does it

Great, maritime-looking and not too dominant smoke in connection with a powerful, heavy and dark red fruit note. The mouthfeel is insanely oily. Exactly my case, I think it's just really delicious. I like it really well (like everything I've tried from EoI so far) and offers exactly what it promises. Great boom!

A joke from a whiskey. Something like that will be clearly classified as a contemporary document in 15 years. Completely designed, the sherry slapped on like the icing on a cupcake. And yes, nose is fun, Islay says hello, in the mouth it's just "delicious", but: that's Milka, not Valrhona. This is the puff pastry pocket with vanilla filling from the Bake-Off: really cool, but has nothing to do with a real bakery. From nose to mouth sherry aromas are completely applied, you can taste the finish like a homemade barrel project. In 10 years, such bottlings will perhaps be nostalgically mourned, due to the powerful and superficial penetrance of the aromas (Laphroaig with cinnamon). Like 1990s tracksuits with torsions, 1992 cheap techno is playing in the background, but it was awesome.

An overall nice blend that shows its young age (but not annoying). Not overly complex but still tasty. A good choice for friends of greasy and pleasantly tarry “dirty” notes in combination with a nice fruity sweetness. The alcohol is dangerously well integrated.

No rating just a thought: The Last one was around 50 EUR now they charge up to 90 EUR or let it be 80 nevermind for .5 ltr whilst it's very lovely ' white brother' is 40... are you kidding me? It's a NAS blend but yes it has colour - racism finally turned around in one industry.

For correction only: I have no idea where the 90 euros mentioned in the comments come from, which supposedly have to be paid for this bottling ... It is an individual problem to feed the traders who take such prices. The filling is / was initially available for 69.90 euros!

I am confused by some of the comments here. "Just a blended malt" - why should a blended malt per se be worse than a single malt? "Didn't meet my taste" - 87 points, "It's not the big hit" - 88 points. So it doesn't surprise me when mid-range hype bottlings are rated with 90 points these days. It's just a modern sherry bottling: high-proof, a little edgy and certainly not old, and unfortunately also quite expensive because of the 0.5 liters. Personally, this smoked sherry combination tastes pretty good to me.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 88 | Dark fruits, ripe plums, strong smoke, raisins, dry and charred wood, grape juice, nut chocolate. Sherry influences and smoke are tightly interwoven. On the one hand, this makes the smoke aromatic and heavy, but on the other hand, you can't "dig your way through". There is a little lack of depth - but that is probably not the intention of this bottling. You don't notice anything of the 57%. |
| Вкус | 87 | Unexpectedly peppery and impetuous, dextrose, strong smoke, oily and mineral, ginger, herbal tea, juicy stone fruit. |
| Финиш | 88 | Long and intense, heavy and dark fruits, jam and cocoa powder, espresso, smoke, charcoal. |

Is quite interesting and yet uncomplicated to drink. Not as tight and heavy as the nose promises. My guess is that Bunnahabhain is mostly peated
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 87 | Very dirty and greasy, some iodine. The sherry is fat inside. This makes it difficult to guess the distillate. Especially since then still blended. Heavy and a little cute. Tight. Like a more smoky Alrik. If he stands longer, ashier. Shake it up fruity again. Complex, but not so well connected in the nose. |
| Вкус | 78 | When I start, I have Uigedail vibes. But don't really believe in Ardbeg. Bunna Moine? For 57.2% quite accessible. Doesn't need water. Not that complex anymore. Dry-spicy, barrel-heavy. But it doesn't last long. But noticeably young, the aromas swim away too quickly. |
| Финиш | 84 | Even drier in the finish. Even salty. Really salty. At the back, herbs, plantain cough syrup. In the end, the Islay-Peat wins. |

Well it is not very well balanced. The peat and the sherry clearly don't mix in this bottling. This one did not meet my taste.

it would be pretty safe to say there might be some Ardbeg (EDIT: more like Bunnahabhain Moine) involved in this, I can taste some overlap with Uigeadail. The only reason this does not go to 90 or 90+ is that the first seconds of the palate are a bit "empty" down the middle. There is this beautiful way from the land of kirsch liquor and tobacco and cola syrup to the lands of dry ash and even dryer tannins (sherry dry as hell) which is totally adventurous, but a great dram does not have this moment of "emtiness / wateriness". I think this is a one-off experience. Oh and for those who are into spirit character and little cask contribution (like Serge Valentin), this is an avoid thing.

Not much wrong with this combination @ cs. It also is rather off-note-free - which nowadays is a selling point feature of quality in sherry casks it seems. ;-) Recommended, but a bit heavy on the price for 0,5 l.

Shop info: "This Islay essence captures a limited available bottling - in connection with wonderful sherry notes. Peat & Sherry Cask is a composition selected by Kirsch Import exclusively for Germany from three first fill sherry hogsheads in which the peaty Elements-of-Islay -Standard Peat matured, from which the Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whiskey flowed in only 1,400 bottles. When the cork pops, the dram reveals strong smoky notes in connection with dark, sweet berries, liquorice and grain notes as well as lingering sherry sweetness. Nose: campfire smoke, smoker and sooty notes, then intense sherry aromas with dark grapes and berries. Palate: Maritime notes with sweet berries, plus liquorice and some oak. Finish: Long-lasting with grain notes, spice and mouth-filling smoke that gives way to the sweetness of the sherry. " Issue price in April 2021: EUR 70-75;

Wow! This is my whiskey, smoke sherry, ham, reminiscent of a Lediag. And it's just a blended malt. But what a one. Was by far the best whiskey that evening, although single cask bottlings from Mortlach, Lediag and Dalhuaine were against it. For the price of 70.00 EUR for a 0.5 l bottle, not exactly free, but still within the limit.

| Нос | 92 | Great sherry and wood flavors. The sweetness of dark ripe berries comes through. At first you think of cherry, but then blackberry comes through. The smoke is always present, but subtly in the background. It has to be like that. |
| Вкус | 93 | Smoky ham is noticeable in the mouth. But the sweetness of the blackberry is still there. Sherry notes with a pinch of oak come through. |
| Финиш | 92 | The finish is not forever, but it is very long. The sweet fruit aromas combine with smoke and bacon. Almost like a three-course menu. Light oak soaked in sherry appears at the end. |
