Суммаризация отзывов

развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах виски чаще всего описывают как сочетание дыма/торфа с фруктовостью и сладостью. Нос и вкус нередко включают яблоки и другие фрукты, мёд, солод, специи, а также мясные и «беконные» оттенки, иногда золу и дым костра. Несколько отзывов отмечают мягкость, округлость и хороший баланс, а также лёгкую питкость при заметной крепости; финиш описывают как средний или длинный, с дымом, торфом, специями и иногда сухостью. Часть отзывов упоминает хересные и «лесные» ноты, орехи, сухофрукты, шоколад и карамель, а также восковые и травянистые оттенки.
Отдельно звучат сравнения с предыдущими версиями: один отзыв предпочитает версию 2018 года из-за большей глубины и интенсивности, другой считает текущую версию лучше предыдущей. Есть замечания о недостатке сложности, вязкости и интенсивности, а также о том, что виски «не тот, о котором рассказывать друзьям». По цене мнения расходятся: одни называют его дорогим для того, что предлагается, другие — разумно оценённым или стоящим своих денег. Также встречаются описания как необычного и интересного, и упоминания, что он понравился на выставке/фестивале и после этого был куплен.

I tried it at a whisky expo and liked it, so I bought a whole bottle afterwards. 87 points should be acceptable.
Soft, layered, and wonderful.
Apples. Sweet. Ashy peat. Love it. I actually think its reasonably priced
Nice peat and smoke, quite drinkable

| Нос | 89 | Some dried fruits, plum, berries, honey, hickory smoke spare ribs, ham and bacon, nuts, toasted bread, hint of leather, liquorice, cloves - really not bad |

Immediately, the Sherry and a forest side, undergrowth, heather, oak, with beautiful pieces of bark, moss, black and greasy earth. The peat is ample and soft. The Sherry influence gives quetsche, cherry clafoutis, a few blackberries. It's quite luscious, but not excessive. The Bourbon feels rather in the mouth, it's soft, a little vanilla, many nuts, cranberry tart, then a long and beautiful finish, not explosive, quiet but which does its job. Burning chestnuts, hot coals, refreshing earth. Bay leaf, thyme, cloves. I really liked this forest and fruity side. It's a success, it's pleasant, better in my opinion than the previous edition. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2023/06/compass-box-flaming-heart-7th-edition.html

Very Nice nose, bright and expressive , very well balanced, complex palate and long finish. The alcohol is very well integrated, it’s all smooth and fun to navigate. A bit expensive but fantastic dram. Very well done.

| Нос | 90 | Candied fruit, pears and mango, citrus, note of nutmeg, sweet and wrapped in a light smoke. Hint of licorice, shy kelp. Love this nose. |
| Вкус | 90 | Rich, oily, Smoke is more obvious, salty,some pears again, light citrus freshness, light ripe fruit, some tobacco note, light spice (nutmeg, ginger) ashy dryness Very good |
| Финиш | 89 | Long, ashy and smoky. Salty medicinal . Still some light ripe fruits, light menthol freshness at the end. |
compared to the 2018 version, this 2022 bottle has little wax (well they removed clynelish anyway), a kind of peatiness that borders more on smoked meat and ink, more fruitiness (both fresh fruits and tropical fruits, and dried fruits like plum or apricot as well). I say 87.75-88. very refreshing dram. But I personally prefer the 2018 version, which goes deeper, more intense/thicker in terms of flavors, particularly backed by that iconic waxy texture of clynelish/deanston.

A very fine blended malt. Curious: I find the smoky note to be very "typical of Talisker", although the proportion of Laphroaig and Caol Ila is higher than that of Talisker...

Delicious, like a holiday cake with candied fruits, richly flavored with butter, burnt sugar and other confectionery tones. Smoky notes are transformed into burnt parts of a cake that the hostess forgot in the oven and was distracted by other things. It is also worth adding maple syrup and fig jam, a little melted animal fat.

Clean peat, fruity, tropical fruits
Smoke and ash, but by no means two dimensional: rich and balanced malt and fruit underpins the phenolics. Very satisfying.

Tasted on Fri 16th Dec 2022 as part of an East Coast Whisky ‘ECW Online Festive Special’ 10-dram vertical (https://www.eastcoastwhisky.com). Colour: Yellow mustard gold.
A second review, a different bottle, a year later. Bottles are the same quality (as you would expect). There are very few whiskies over 100 that are bang for buck. This is 150, and it's worth it. 9606 made, get it while you can.

| Нос | 90 | Char and soft peat, caramel, custard, cloves and ginger. Almost no heat while still being 49 abv. |
| Вкус | 91 | Arrival: very clean. Honey-spiced stewed oranges. After that vanilla and peat, both on the tongue (Caol Isla and HP) and back in the throat (Laphroaig). |
| Финиш | 91 | Long. Peat, leather, vanilla, bbq lemon. |

Changed this rating three times. Started at 87 and am now at 91. Considering the malts in this blend it has no right being this good. The finish is insane. Defining malts in the blend are: 16yo hogshead Laphroaig (20%) 16yo Glen Elgin (17%) 21yo Caol Ila (8%) 25yo Highland park (4%) Supported by some younger (but at least 11yo) mostly highland malts and some leftovers. Doesn't sound that epic, but it is.

| Нос | 90 | Spices, smoke and peat, iodine, some pineapple way in the back. Some sherry, but I'm not sure if that's correct. |
| Вкус | 90 | Spice to sweetness to peat, dryness (oak). Toast with marmalade. |
| Финиш | 92 | Long. Earthy peat and sweetness, very long oaky pepperiness, dry. |
Quite a nice combination of smoke (campfire smoke, cured meat), yellow fruits, honey, malt and spiciness (think black pepper). Inoffensive and well balanced out, but still nothing I would go out of my way to buy again...

Waxy, ripe fruit. You also smell hints of toffee, honey, and rich baking spices. Peat, deliciously warming. The smoky sweet taste lingers for a long time. Tasted it in Geertruidenberg at a whisky festival and then purchased a bottle of this blend at home.

| Нос | 89 | Really strong red apple right after pouring in. Wax, leather, raisins. Overall very pleasant and quite complex for its ABV. Hint of paint thinner. Honey |
| Вкус | 85 | Apple continues, bit of ash, apple juice, quite sweet |
| Финиш | 85 | Dried red fruit, honey |
???????? Smells: Lightly smoked brown sugar, light floral aroma, mineral bacon, dark chocolate elegance, somewhat similar to the 2015 version, with some slight irritation, and the peat element is not very prominent 26.4/30 Taste: In the mouth, it feels like the combination of Calilla and Laphroaig. The paper smoked bacon, chocolate, brown sugar is very sweet, and there is still an obvious floral aroma, but after that there is a faint creamy spice 26.8/30 Aftertaste: The light peat of the paper smoked salmon lasts longer and is elegant with no bitterness 26.7/30 Overall: This wine exceeded my expectations. I am very curious about where this floral aroma comes from. 79.9/90

Tropical, dry, ashy. Dark, sherried, old, meaty and heavy Yum
Very drinkable and tasty, but also quite expensive for what is offered. As is unfortunately often the case with Compass Box.

I was referred to this bottle as a better version of Flaming Heart, it is enjoyable by all means, no whisky to tell your friends about, though.
light ashy character, sweetness, honey, citrus
