Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают молодой низменный виски с доминирующими нотами карамели, ванили, зелёных и жёлтых яблок, солода и травянисто-сенного оттенка, с заметным влиянием новой (virgin) дубовой бочки. Мнения о финише расходятся: часть отмечает приятную длину и сладость, часть — горьковатый древесный и кофейный оттенок.
развернуть подробно
В ароматике отзывы сходятся на карамели, ванили, солоде, свежих и жёлтых/зелёных яблоках, а также травянисто-сенных и цветочных нотах; неоднократно упоминаются тропические и косточковые фрукты (ананас, гуава, личи, мирабель, персик), сливочность, мёд и лёгкая пряность. Влияние новой дубовой бочки описывается как отчётливое, но у многих — не подавляющее: она даёт ванильную сладость, пряную «опору» и древесные ноты, хотя отдельные отзывы называют виски заметно молодым и «деревянным». Во вкусе преобладают карамель, ваниль, мёд, сладкие фрукты, сливочная текстура и пряность (перец, специи), иногда с солёным оттенком и минеральностью; крепость оценивается как хорошо подходящая, а разбавление водой описывается по-разному — от улучшения сладости до потери характера.
Финиш описывается неоднородно: часть отзывов отмечает среднюю или длинную продолжительность со сладостью, карамелью, ванилью, пряностью и лёгкой ореховой нотой; другие указывают на горьковатый древесный, дубовый, кофейный и подгорело-карамельный оттенок, а также на исчезновение пряности. Общая тональность отзывов — от «приятного, лёгкого для питья летнего/десертного» виски до критики за молодость и горечь; несколько отзывов прямо называют его хорошим представителем региона Лоуленд и удачным примером выдержки в новой дубовой бочке.

He has a fresh nose Meadow, grapes, wood. Strong and aromatic. Taste rather the barrel notes, relatively bitter, the beautiful meadow is gone. Vanilla pudding, plum jam and earthy notes on the finish. I liked the Vinaya better...

Pungent alcohol. Fresh, tart fruit. Herbs. Some menthol. Hay. Seems young. Initially milder on the tongue. Slightly sweet. But then a strong wooden note immediately bites the tongue. Very bitter. Strongly bitter. White pepper. The finish also has a mix of sour fruit, pepper and a rustic oak bite.

| Нос | 84 | Caramel dominates, green apples, sherry, light spiciness, and of course alcohol - a bit closed but pleasant |
| Вкус | 86 | The flavors are dominated by caramelized green apples, oak, spices and vanilla, as if a certain saltiness. It is nicely balanced and despite the high alcohol content, quite thin as befits a Lowland :) |
| Финиш | 86 | The aftertaste is in a similar tone to the taste - sherry, apples, vanilla, spiciness, like a whiff of salt. Quite long and pleasant |

I thought the 11-year-old from 2020 (WB166633) was awesome and was hoping that this one could be similar. But unfortunately it's a slightly different number: noticeably younger and more woody.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 83 | Still young in character, with associations of plum schnapps, pear brandy and limoncello behind an admittedly quite creamy, vanilla-heavy, creamy-sweet and dry straw barrel backdrop. After a while also clean, freshly starched cotton (or linen) and removes exotic fruits (lychee?). Once you get used to being young, it's quite a nice nose. The virgin wood brings in fragrant, but also simply "woody" notes. Funny that Serge rated it so well (87P), he actually hates virgin oak... |
| Вкус | 85 | Quite drinkable on its own, surprisingly low alcohol content for such a young thing -- but diluted down, maybe? Very sweet and full. Tangy, but not overly sour. Again, slightly exotic fruit notes (now I'm more with guava). Nice texture: dense and oily, as was the case recently with the 10 and 11 year old bottlings. In addition a vague minerality, like dry white wine. Beautiful, characterful and uncomplicated summer whisky, which you can pour over a fat ice cube and enjoy it on the balcony in the evening sun. |
| Финиш | 83 | First strong corn sweetness, then tart-sour lemon zest. Refreshing. |

I like it surprisingly well, since the new oak does not come to the fore here as it so often does. No idea how much old whisky is compared to new, but the character of Bladnoch is there, modernized a bit without losing the charm. Also very tasty. I like. For me the best of all the new NAS whiskys, which also process the new brand after the reopening. I think. That will also be the case here.

Liquid butter biscuit dough, very grainy, lots of cereal with lots of vanilla and a nice creaminess on the nose. The 52.2% suits him well; with fewer percentages he would probably have faded into insignificance. But as it is, I like it, really good. He's not a complexity monster, if he doesn't want to be. The combination of ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks harmonizes very well with Bladnoch's new make. The wood aromas are clearly present, but they provide a good backbone for the sweet vanilla and biscuit aromas. A nice dessert malt for the summer on the terrace.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 86 | A strong, very aromatic nose right from the start. Sugared whole-grain muesli and butter dough biscuits with applesauce made from yellow, sweet, juicy apples. Plus a very intense Bourbon vanilla. There is always a hint of mint. Over time, the applesauce is joined by a little peach and a specific creaminess in the smell that is reminiscent of a mashed, ripe banana. The wood from the Virgin Oak barrel is there, clearly but not disturbingly. The spice and the wood give the other aromas more of a backing. With a drop or two of water, the cereals and vanilla then take over completely. |
| Вкус | 85 | A soft start with a very creamy mouthfeel. Very sweet, again with a lush vanilla note, again the butterscotch pastry flavors, the muesli and the apple and banana fruit puree. Changes in the middle to a slightly spicy pepper note with medium dark chocolate. The freshness of the mint is a good counterpoint to the sweet power of cookies. With water it becomes very tasty, even more vanilla-like and I think I have eaten pure cookie dough. |
| Финиш | 84 | The oak of the barrels takes over at the end. The taste becomes more bitter. The vanilla is still there, but now only as a topping of the milk foam on the coffee with a clear roasted note. The apple now has the slightly bitter peel. The exit doesn't take long. |

...he may still be young, but he's good and definitely doesn't need to hide from the Lowland competition! you can drink it wonderfully pure, slightly diluted, totally great caramel notes come to light. [color]: honey;

Wonderful and delicate young Lowland whisky with enough oomph to deliver complex notes of lemon, passion fruit, guava, fresh laundry drying in the garden underneath an apple tree, a touch of vanilla und just enough (virgin oak) wood spice to give the whisky its backbone. The virgin oak is there (I was skeptical at first) but not overpowering. Liora is a wonderfully playful Bladnoch and it invites you to try it with water - a drop, a few drops, a tsp, but not too much. It's the best official affordable Lowland Cask Strength bottling since Auchentoshan Valinch - very high quality, natural presentation, okay-ish value: highly recommended.

| Нос | 86 | Fresh, floral, with notes of caramel, hay, and green fruit. Light alcohol content. Inviting. |
| Вкус | 88 | Mainly notes of fresh yellow fruit and caramel. Honey. Nice bourbon influence, the new oak nicely balances the sweet vanilla. Good texture, the spice arrives shortly after and is well present, medium spiciness. Easy to drink. High-quality spirit. |
| Финиш | 83 | Medium. It turns bitter shortly after, unfortunately. The spice disappears, leaving notes of coffee and burnt caramel. |

B: 52.2%, ucf, nc, medium density. 22 N: vanilla, dried fruits, ginger, herbal, wood, leather. 21 P: vanilla, spice, zest, marmalade, peach. Sweet and spicy. 20 F: vanilla, spice, zest, wood, tabacco. Medium long. 21 Intresting and unusual maturation in virgin oak casks brings a lot of vanilla sweetness and zesty bitterness along with a fruitiness of ex burbon casks. Rather young and spicy dram but also intense and rich

I chose this whisky for undemanding all-night sipping just for the joy of it, I can admit that I did not make a bad choice. It is exactly as I would imagine for such a purpose, not outstanding in anything, not exceptional in anything, but it is not lagging behind or defective in anything either. Just the right whisky for tonight, with an almost ordinary but very pleasant profile of a simple bourbon finish with quite a pronounced pungency and spiciness thanks to virgin casks. Although it is a noticeably young whisky, it is also appropriately pungent thanks to the good strength of the ABV, but there are times when one wishes for exactly such a "simple" whisky for tough guys. In addition to cereals, quite significant woodiness and malt, there are also almonds, mild mint, bourbon vanilla, white pepper and possibly some candied fruit and forest honey. After a long time in the glass, something almost perfume-like appears in the aroma, but it doesn't really fit the character for me. Thanks to the alcohol content, it is a bit pungent, but I must add that without that content it might lose its character, it is simply excellent as it is, no need to dilute it.
