Medium Smoked Whisky

Rauchmalz Single Malt Whisky

Die Gerste für diesen Single Malt Whisky wurde über Buchenholz gedarrt, welches dem Medium-Smoked Whisky seinen angenehm rauchigen Touch gibt. Die Lagerung erfolgte in Zigarillos - spezielle Fässer aus französischer Limousineiche.

Unsere Nasen und Gaumen versprechen:

In der Nase entfalten sich malzig-komplexe Röstaromen, Vanillenoten, dezente rauchige Töne und Kohle. Am Gaumen Kaffeebohnen, dunkle Schokoladetöne, fruchtige Noten gepaart mit rauchigen Akzenten, Kohle und Meeresgeruch. Langes Finish mit Trockenfrüchten und Rauch.

Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024. Kategorie: Brilliant 91,5/100

"Nose (23.5/25) this is as delicate and layered as the Burn Out is uncompromisingly one-dimensional and in your face. The smoke this time lacks acidity and plays the role of chaperone to the gentle vanillas rather than a guard determined to keep them out...; taste (23/25) if this was a plane landing, you wouldn't feel the touch down, let alone a bounce. Effortlessly delicate despite the width of the spectrum of smoke, which ranges from dry and precise, to silky sweet and anchoring. There is even a curious, palate-cleansing citrus note blowing through, before the creamy hickory arrives; finish (22/25) a very quiet finale. The oils have congregated now. A light milky praline note is caressed by the remaining genteel smoke...; overall balance (23/25) I nosed this side by side Burn Out to gauge the variance in smoking levels. By comparison this is slightly nearer light than medium but there are still phenols enough to ensure that weight and depth are maintained throughout. What you don't get is the almost insane variance between sweet and dry, the sugars here much more of a muscovado style, this generating a light fruity note through the piece. Delightful."

Nase: "Arbroath Smokies at first, but as the glass warms, the sugars get a little more crisp. Except the acrid house style is a unique signature, here with a light thread of marmalade;" Geschmack: "the citrus arrives a step ahead of the smoke , though this appears diluted down by a fabulously malty, ulmo honey sweetness – so delicious...;" Finish: "spices arrive with grace and interweave with the smoked vanilla rather charmingly;"
[...] there is no doubt that this distillery knows exactly how to make smoky whisky, because this is a very different, more subtle, style to their peated efforts." Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2017, p. 314; Kategorie: Superstar whisky

Whisky Advocate: "[...] Die resultierenden Aromen rufen Erinnerungen an süße Maische, Holzkohle Sticks, Fisch vom Smoker, und alte Fässer die sich im Sonnenschein am Meeresrand wärmen hervor. Er hat über 3 Jahre in französischen Eichenfässenr gereift, und der Geschmack geht von süßen Aromen mit Pfirsich, Nektarine und Melone, bis Sevilla Orangen, bis zu verschiedenen Schalen und Karamellbonbon. Ein Finish von getrockneten Früchten mit nachklingendem Rauch" Verkostet von: Jonny McCormick. Whisky Advocate.
