развернуть подробно
В отзывах последовательно упоминается дым и торф в разных проявлениях: «older peaty» нос, «well balanced peat in wine casks», «different kinds of peat with some sherry and wine casks influence», а также пепельный/землистый торф. Сладость и десертные ноты тоже повторяются: молочный шоколад, орехи, карамель, тоффи, специи, ваниль и фрукты, раскрывающиеся после аэрации, «baked sweet apple and toffee» и шоколадный торт. Морские и медицинские мотивы: йод и морская соль в носу, «hospital atmosphere» и солёный морской оттенок, «coastal» финиш. Винные/хересные бочки прямо называются как часть композиции, причём один из отзывов описывает доминирование дыма и красного вина со сладостью Marsala и глубиной Palo Cortado, а ещё один отзыв отмечает красные танины в послевкусии. Финиш описывают по-разному: белый перец и длительное послевкусие, умеренно горячий, но растянутый, на коричневом сахаре и орехах, средний, с «old Laphroaig peat» и короче ожидаемого несколько отзывов кратко отмечает горечь, один из отзывов — «more bitter… dries. Pepper. Oak».
По цене мнения в текстах расходятся: ещё один отзыв считает, что за половину цены было бы отлично, и называет цену «shame»; другой отзыв оставляет решение о €130 на покупателя; один из отзывов называет цену «kinda steep, but… not completely unreasonable»; ещё один отзыв предпочёл бы этот виски Caol Ila 18 за 180–200 долларов. При этом другой отзыв отмечает, что нос «wonderfully older peaty» и что это «great composition and elegance», один из отзывов называет его «a home run» и сравнивает с «smoky CB Flaming Heart 2022», а ещё один отзыв — «a really delicious whiskey that I want to buy more of». Общий тон отзывов скорее положительный, но формулировки о единодушии были бы натяжкой: часть замечаний касается цены, горечи и относительно короткого финиша.

dark red berries hospital ocean performance baked apple burnt sugar A truly intuitive nuance of dark red berries You can feel the hospital atmosphere, the salty vibe of the sea is alive, and true to its name, the acting has a strong presence. Then, the nuances of baked sweet apple and toffee P feet Smoky chocolate cake various spices dried berries Nut paste As soon as I put it in my mouth, I could definitely taste the peat. I could even see the sensations of salt, a hospital, and a campfire. After that, the sweetness of a really sweet chocolate cake Slightly spicy, but clove? White pepper? A definite spicy spice nuance. The chewy fruity taste of semi-dried blueberries or fully dried raisins Influenced by Dujonku, I have tried various pastes, and I could feel the complex bitter and sweet flavors of that distinctive oily nut paste. F The lingering aftertaste of intense smoky eye stays on the tip of the lips for a shooooo long time. And after drinking the wine, a distinctive red tannin sensation lingers pleasantly. A really delicious whiskey that I want to buy more of. Personally, I think Balechin and Nagahama are the ones who use Wine-type characters really well, but now that I'm out of Combox, I feel like I want to try out other Wine-type characters if there are any. If you love Pete, I would recommend this if you get the chance. I was surprised that, unexpectedly, aside from the tannins in the finish, I didn't detect any woody notes in the aroma or taste.

Whisky that gains a lot by letting it breathe for a couples of minutes! The sweetness, vanilla and fruits unveils after a little while.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 90 | Herbal creosoted peat, a bit of conifer, quite a bit of oak, vanilla, citrus, tangy, nuts a bit subtle, fruits more orchard and citrus than I would have predicted… When it breathes, the sugar comes out more, brown sugar, pecans roasted in brown sugar, cocoa / chocolate |
| Вкус | 86 | Ashy peat, quite a bit of oak that has started to char, more mineral than on the nose, brown sugar and vanilla in the background, fruits more in the third plan, still orchard fruits with a bit of grape, slight woody bitterness and walnut skin, but just well balanced. The aftertaste is a bit sharp, I’m unsure whether it’s pepper or wasabi. |
| Финиш | 86 | Moderately hot but still stretches quite a bit, on the brown sugar and oak pecans |

finish more than half, you will see the sweetness when it's aged well give it a time
Dang! I was ready to shred this one to piece when I googled the price before sampling it. Also b/c it was presented as "upgraded Peat Monster" which according to the website is only partly true. But the nose is wonderfully "older peaty" and it took only a few small sips to win me over. Great composition and elegance, a great blend of malts to spend the evening with. And I am certainly not a CB fanboy. ;-) Not sure if I'll get a bottle as I am well-stocked peat-wise, but I'd certainly take this one over a Caol Ila 18 for 180-200 bucks any day!

A good demonstration of well balanced peat in wine casks. Well done. N: Sweet. Walnuts. Milk Chocolate. Blueberry. Berries & Cream. P: Peat. Creamy Milk Chocolate. Fruit. Toffee Apple. Walnuts. F: More Bitter. Still Creamy. Dries. Pepper. Oak.
decent, nice smoke. milk chocolate, nuts, caramel, spices, mild bitterness, earthy peat It's a very good shot, but at half the price. Shame For under €100 it would be an excellent whiskey

Nose has toffee, peat, iodine and sea salt. Nice oily, mouth coating texture. More salt and medicinal flavors on the palate with slight sweetness. White pepper finish that lingers for quite a while.

a bit bitter
Caol Ila, Ardmore, a touch of Bowmore and Ardbeg – Palo Cortado, Marsala, and red wine: what could go wrong? :) The smoke is really interesting, in my opinion. Smoke and red wine dominate, but there's more to it than that. The sweetness of the Marsala shines through, and the Palo adds depth. Lovely. :) Whether it's worth €130 is something everyone has to decide for themselves.
Recent CB's were hit and miss, this is a home run. 52abv and not hot at all. Different kinds of peat with some sherry and wine casks influence. Shines mid palate. A smoky CB Flaming Heart 2022. Complex (but not as compax as FH), with great transitions. Price is kinda steep, but considering the market not completely unreasonable.

| Нос | 89 | Sweet with all kinds of smoke, peat, char, ash, earth, also sherry and citrus. Intense. Clean. |
| Вкус | 90 | Arrival: nutty, smoked almonds, sweet. Then very nice sherry, earthy peat. Very easy to drink neat. Impressive that it trumps the nose. |
| Финиш | 88 | Medium. Old Laphroaig peat stays in the back of the throat, coastal. Shorter than expected. Not underwhelming, but not impressive. |
