| Review #300 |
It is from
the series Swiss Highlander and comes from Old Oak Beer Casks. The smell is
quite strange… Elderflower and I swear I can smell the hops! I get some
chemical stuff as well, cleaners of some sort, with some sweetness all the way
in the background.
The taste
is the best thing about this whisky. The chemical stuff is almost gone, and
some oak influence, spices and burned caramel comes forward. The finish starts
fine, but at 40 % it just dies rather quickly. Just a bit higher ABV and the
finish would have been the best thing about this.
I am a fan
of beer matured in whisky casks, not the other way around… This is just too
strange for me, and a bit too far away from what I recognize as whisky. Too bad
as the Swiss can make some great whisky! I will give this 74/100 (17/20/19/18).
