Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают дымный, торфяной виски с заметной сладостью, ванилью и морскими/солёными нотами, при этом часть отзывов отмечает, что он требует времени в бокале и не даёт ожидаемого «взрыва» для 20-летнего возраста.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах нос чаще всего описывается как дымный и торфяной, с ванилью, карамелью, сладостью и морскими/солёными оттенками (морской воздух, соль, иод, водоросли), а также с нотами кожи, трав, орехов, яблок, специй и дуба. Во вкусе повторяются сладость (мёд, карамель, ваниль), дым и торф, специи (перец), дуб, яблоки, шоколад, солёность/рассол и иод; отмечаются маслянистость и полнота тела, а также «заряд» алкоголя. Финиш в основном средний или длинный, сладкий и дымный, со специями, дубом, цитрусом, пеплом и солью. Несколько отзывов подчёркивают, что виски раскрывается со временем в бокале и/или с добавлением воды, а также что дым может восприниматься очень тонко или почти исчезать после другого дымного виски, уступая место бурбоновым нотам.
Отдельно звучат критические замечания: одному отзыву не хватило ожидаемого «взрыва» для 20-летнего виски, и он предположил бы 13–15 лет при слепой дегустации; другой называет виски сдержанным и «без вау-фактора», требующим времени на дыхание. При этом есть и положительные оценки, где виски называют очень вкусным, хорошо сделанным, оригинальным и «загадочным», требующим вдумчивой дегустации.

Was allegedly matured in Bourbon Barrels from Old Grand Dad.
Nice smoky, peaty, sweet, Kentucky-Hugish finish.

Very tasty, with lots of sweetness, smoke, peat and surprisingly pleasant spiciness. The longer it stays in the glass, the sweeter, apple and honeyier it gets. Alcohol perfectly hidden.

Very original, strict, integral. At the same time, this whisky is a puzzle. It is not simple. You need to sit with it and think. And this is what makes it remarkable. 22, 23, 22, 23

Light fruity sweetness reminiscent of mirabelle plums, the smoke is only very subtle.

So wonderful to taste their classic way of distilling again.

A tasty bottling with lovely salty smoky notes but also a surprising amount of ash. I had pretty high expectations for a Ballechin that has been aged for 20 years and was expecting a real blast. Overall, it is very tasty, but I am still a little disappointed. In a blind tasting, I would have guessed 13 to 15 years...

| Финиш | 87 | Vanilla, ash, salt, smoke, iodine, citrus notes, burnt caramel, dust and earth, mint, oak spice. |
A sealed whisky that needs time to breathe. The aromas are woody and smoky. The taste is of candy and gingerbread. The finish is gentle, soft, medium-length, and slightly spicy. Not what you'd expect from a 20-year-old whisky. It's restrained and decent, but it doesn't have a wow factor.

A very nice, straightforward, maritime, smoky Ballechin, where the smoke is well-matured and classy. There is also a lovely sweetness paired with a harmonious spiciness. These were definitely good barrels, carefully selected.

| Нос | 90 | Sweetness and smoke dominate the nose; the smoke has beautiful maritime notes of salty sea air, seaweed and shell limestone as well as a delicate phenolic but very pleasant note; caramel; vanilla; some light chocolate; grassy-herbal notes; oak wood; great nose, everything nice and clean and harmonious |
| Вкус | 89 | oily mouthfeel; harmonious, powerful spice in combination with the sweetness; vanilla; caramel; some light chocolate; white pepper; tart herbal notes; oak wood; again the maritime smoke from the nose of the aroma |
| Финиш | 89 | peppery-spicy; white pepper; behind this lies the beautiful sweetness which is less present than in the nose and mouth and on the palate; caramel; vanilla; here too the tart herbs; tart-spicy oak wood; the beautiful maritime smoke from the nose and palate lingers for a long time |

A few minutes in the glass and a few drops of water will open it up quickly. After a dram of an Islay whisky, the smoky notes in this whisky almost completely disappear and the excellent bourbon notes emerge.
