Молодой (7 лет) ирландский pot still кабельной крепости: пряный (карри, корица, кардамон) и тропический профиль при высоком градусе. Опытные ставят высоко и хвалят баланс; расхождения — вокруг молодой резкости и незрелости.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминирует нехарактерно для семи лет насыщенная пряность — порошок карри, тмин, корица, душистый перец, куркума, кардамон — оттенённая тропическими фруктами (манго, ананас, гуава, банан), скорее терпкими, чем приторными, плюс карамель, тоффи, орехи и жареный фундук. Во вкусе высокий градус почти не ощущается: маслянистая текстура, тропические фрукты (манго, маракуйя, папайя, банан), кофе с молоком, нуга, тёплая карамель, к концу подключается сухой дуб с лёгкой горчинкой. Послевкусие у большинства длительное — терпкие тропические фрукты, кофе, нуга и стойкая пряность, хотя часть отмечает укорочённый и суховатый хвост.
Опытные ревьюеры единодушно оценивают виски высоко (86–91), подчёркивая воспроизводимость профиля от партии к партии и удивительную сложность для короткой выдержки, а также сбалансированность спирта при высоком градусе. Среди остальных разброс шире (84–95): восторженные отзывы хвалят идеальный баланс фруктов и пряностей и ставят его выше Redbreast кабельной крепости, тогда как критики указывают на молодую резкость, несбалансированную жёсткость и незрелость, ощущение недоведённого до кондиции разлива, требующего разбавления, а один прямо предпочитает Yellow Spot. Общая согласованность оценок высокая при среднем около 88; основное расхождение — насколько молодая резкость и суховатая горчинка портят впечатление.

It has the potential to be much better, but it feels like it wasn't bottled to reflect that potential, perhaps to maintain its cask strength. It feels nice that it's a pot still. The Madeira cask has also been present without destroying the rest, but the youthfulness seems to have brought a somewhat unbalanced harshness. At this price and age, I could have asked for something more refined. A drinker diluting the whiskey in their glass and a producer doing a proper dilution are two very different things; this bottle seems to need the latter. Despite these criticisms, I can't say it's a bad whiskey. It's good. Price-performance ratio: Average Would I buy it again?: I'm happy I bought enough to try it. I don't think I'll buy it again.

Beautiful buttery bread, buttery caramel. Baked red apples. Powdered hazelnuts and walnuts. A touch of cocoa. There's a slight nettle note. A slightly solvent-like background, maybe mothballs (?). A hint of must. A bit of milk chocolate and dried figs. Maybe mint? Like After Eight. Everything is a bit too much; the quality is evident, but the notes are all mixed up. The spices are here; fennel seeds in the background, cumin in the foreground, cinnamon and a little clove. While it reduces the burning sensation a bit, it increases the alcohol content; it doesn't contribute much to the complexity. A bit of straw and dry grass. While a little aggressive, I wouldn't call it unpleasant.

After the aggressiveness on the nose, the palate felt incredibly smooth. A nice medium-high body, close to the high end. Plenty of sweetness. Beautiful fresh walnut and grassy notes with straw accents reveal its pot still character. A thick reduction of dried red fruit and a distinct buttery caramel. Spices are more in the background. Cinnamon and clove are prominent. Cardamom. Medium-high sweetness. Again, After Eight chocolates. Dark chocolate. A slightly aged, woody undertone comes from a balancing bitterness. Dried red plums and sun-dried apricots. This part is much more enjoyable than the nose.

A medium-low intensity, medium-short finish. Balance is lost here again; youthful bitterness and perhaps a touch of tannin make the ending a little unpleasant. The caramel and dried red fruit reduction is still present. Spices are still there. Blackberry. Over time, more vibrant sweet red fruits bring some balance. Sawdust and dried grass again. A little water rounds off the edges here but also smooths the palate. Perhaps a little black peppercorn is added. Maraschino cherry and perhaps Szechuan pepper (?). A little water could help here too, it seems.

Phenomenal, fruity, with pot still spices. 2023 bottling at 59.1%. I think I get more apricot than I see in other reviews, but definitely a lot of tropical fruit and caramel. First glass was a bit hot but still enjoyable. Looking forward to a side-by-side with RBCS

The aroma is very robin, and the taste is obviously different from robin at the beginning, and the aftertaste is slightly shorter than robin. The original whiskey from the same factory is a good drink.

Slightly stimulating alcohol, toffee, lemon peel, banana pie, roasted hazelnuts, and a hint of cinnamon at the end

The taste is oily and the alcohol is well suppressed. It starts with a tropical fruit platter of pineapple, mango, and wax apple. The middle note starts with vanilla cream, and then the woody tone tightens.

I have no idea how they manage to score a hit with every batch of the Blue Spot so far (every year since 2020). At least with me. It is always fascinating how, on the one hand - even with slightly alternating alcohol strengths - they can reproduce the basic profile every time, and on the other hand - also fascinating - what Midleton is able to get out of such a relatively short-matured single pot still.

I can't help but rave about this spicy nose, especially considering the fact that the Blue Spot is only seven years old. Curry powder, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, turmeric and cardamom. The contrapuntal fruit notes are mostly of tropical origin, but be careful: this is not a Tropi Frutti bomb, as you might be used to with 20+ Irish people. Mango, pineapple, guava and banana tend to be more tart, but are nevertheless very easy to identify. As with its predecessors, the aromas are clearly accentuated and yet harmonious.

I like to repeat myself at this point: its high volume percentages are not noticeable in the slightest on the tongue. Mango, passion fruit, papaya and banana in a delicately bitter finish, the spices from the nose, here with the emphasis on cinnamon, cardamom and allspice. Creamy with café au lait, warm caramel and nougat, dry oak over time.

Not quite as creamy as its predecessor, but blessed with a long finish. Only slowly fading tart, tropical fruit notes, coffee with milk, nougat. A little more of the dry wood that had already appeared on the palate (hence less creaminess), long-lasting spice.

Extremely sweet on the nose, extremely sharp on the palate, very boisterous, fitting for a 7-year-old. I like the Yellow Spot much better.

Fruit, pot still spice, nut, complex and very well balanced. I got a nice deal at a shop no webshop, so that was great. Redbreast at cask strength is great irish whiskey but this is even a little better imho. Mind this Redbreast is sublime just this is the best irish i have had.

There are different colored spots in this series. Originally, the spots on the barrels marked their age. This pot still whiskey is produced at the Midleton Distillery. It is triple distilled, cask-strength, and non-chill-filtered. I can't find any information about the color, but the golden yellow in the glass could be appropriate. glen-efze.de
