Сложный возрастной купаж с богатым хересным профилем, сухофруктами и антикварной кожей, омраченный для части дегустаторов техническими нотами серы и жженой резины.
развернуть подробно
Аромат и вкус напитка построены на интенсивных хересных тонах, сухофруктах, орехах, благородном старом дубе и мебельной политуре, дополненных маслянистой текстурой и пряностями. Выдержка ощущается глубокой, но сбалансированной, дуб не подавляет остальные составляющие, сохраняя свежесть и развитие в бокале.
Главным предметом разногласий выступают сернистые дефекты: часть авторов отмечает назойливые оттенки жженой резиновой крошки, спичек и серы, портящие впечатление, в то время как другие находят профиль безупречно сложным или вовсе не замечают подобных нюансов при долгом аэрировании. Оценки колеблются от сдержанных до восторженных, при этом опытные ревьюеры чаще обращают внимание на технические изъяны старого спирта.

In the smell of this, for me very, special whiskey, I think of a distillery where the cobwebs have the upper hand. The rooms are dry, the stones of the building are smelly and the smell of the distillate is noticeable. Gently you hear dripping water from the ceiling, which produces an echo through the spaces. Somewhere, from a window high in the warehouse, some sunlight shines on the high walls. The barrels are in the dark, but here and there some lanterns are burning. The whiskey that is now in my glass ripens from this year (1965) the next 47 years. This is what I think when I smell the dram.

A great old whiskey. Grain and Malt are especially in the nose a great connection. Although the whiskey has a lot of oak, it is not as dominant as you would expect for 47 years. Which is positive, because you still notice the age.
Aroma：Pronounced；Palate：90/100; Aftertaste： Med-Long.

Another very old Blend Lochside single. 47 years ! In sherry this time. Unfortunately I am quite disgusted by the sulfur aromas. A chore to finish my 1.5cl glass ... With a little water the mouth becomes a little more bearable. But it doesn't fly very high anyway.

| Нос | 84 | It is the sulfur that immediately jumps out at me. Too many burnt matches for my taste. We almost turn to burnt rubber. We still have leather, polish. Dried fruits: goji berries, figs. Nuts, hazelnuts, toasted almonds. A little bit of macadam, tire and a big dose of wood. With a little ventilation we have plum, and a little maraschino liqueur. |
| Вкус | 78 | In the mouth it is syrupy, bordering on heartiness. Rubber, tire, burnt match, sulfur, hot macadamia. Grilled almonds, hazelnuts, figs, dates, sour cherries. Orange zest. Burnt caramel, wood, wood, wood. Licorice. I take no pleasure in it. |
| Финиш | 82 | Long finish, on oily leather, wood, pepper, cloves. And always that much too expressive sulfur. |
At first this was rather challenging, with the sulphur, glue and bourbon, but the development is the longest (yes, and the spirit oldest) I have experienced at home circumstances and propably also the most profound. With the right amount of water it really starts to shine at almost an hour. Very interesting old whisky: this has nothing that would make one think it is a blend, it's rather hard to handle, overpowering at times and deserves and needs both time and patience to show it's qualities.
Lochside 1965 47 YEAR OLD HIGHLAND 1 of only 552 bottles from cask no. 6779 The sister cask to last year’s wonderful, and very rare, “Single Blend” from this now defunct distillery. Also matured since birth as a blend of both Lochside grain and malt, this whisky arrived in an original Williams and Humbert shipping butt and has provided an astonishing 552 bottles at 54.6% after all these years of maturation.Dark copper in colour, with amber lights and polished mahogany and a medium bead.Tinned peaches with glace cherries, macerated dried apricots and figs and a trace of walnut cake. In the background some Mr. Sheen furniture polish and treacle toffee with apple balsamic vinegar.Very smooth in the mouth with marzipan, hessian and Pedro Ximenez – “Umami” in a glass. A rich and complex mouthfeel with astonishing depth.Rancio, old Armagnac, cedar wood and sesame seeds all in the development. This is very fresh and lively for its age and the finish lingers and lingers. From Adelphi web page
I couldn't pass the chance to get a second bottle after finishing one.
Nose: sulfur, fireworks, dried plums, cherry jam, lots of citrus, citrus red fruits, touch tannins, minerality Mouth: sweet, citrus red fruits, cherries, chocolate, raisins, caramel Finish: very long, chocolate, coffee, wood spice, burnt incense / 烧香, dried orange, lemon tea, dates, lots of Chinese red dates, just lingers and lingers
Color: Amber with a slight orange sting, MezzoMix Nose: mild, caramel, milk chocolate, vanilla, citrus / orange notes, coconut - very nice - to put in Body: medium / oily Mouth: mild, creamy, but still noticeable Alk, milk chocolate, well balanced oak notes - with water, the bitter oak notes are more prominent Finish: medium / long, strong and warming, here too the oak and chocolate notes are well balanced, with a bitter orange peel Conclusion: 97p., An island whiskey and then from the best vintage, by the Grainanteil despite the age fresh and not too wood-dominated. Mild and pleasant and with a lot of power.

A perfect Blend ready to drink! (needs no water)

This could have been very good if it had been bottled earlier and there is a little sulphur in there which detracts, nice but not close to 90 points. Great to taste something this old of course.

| Нос | 85 | Plenty of spice, sherry with a little peat and it also smells like burnt oil on the nose. This is actually a little similar to brandy and I swear I get notes of burnt bacon but it could be burnt matches (I hope not) |
| Вкус | 85 | Yeah there is some sulphur in here but its just on the right side of ok (just) This is oaky and a little bitter , decent sherry, walnuts, ripe dark plum skins and a faint hint of blackcurrant and some date. |
| Финиш | 87 | Reasonable length, with the dark fruit finally coming through |
My oldest blend, but I don't feel the grain. Oily, concentrated and grotesque. 90/91.

| Нос | 90 | Floral. Grapefruit, antique leather, sherry, fig, green tea, grass and matured oak. |
| Вкус | 91 | Oily. Dried fruits, honey, salted caramel, citruses, sherry, antique leather, spices, gum and sulfur. |
| Финиш | 90 | Long, spicy, oaky, fruity. Sherry. |
Old school sherry flavors. Thankfully the wood does not dominate or make it too bitter after 47 years in the cask. Multi-layered, complex, (gladly!) could not find much of the sulphur mentioned by other reviewers, maybe it whiffs off after a while?! While it is very good it lacks "just a notch more of everything good it already has to make it into my sherry hall of fame of 90+ p.

Absolute puff pastry whiskey (incredibly complex). Even at the age of 47 the perfect wood balance. Malt-O-Porn!

| Нос | 97 | Quince jelly, orange zest, old sherry, cedar wood, dark furniture polish, marzipan, star anise ... after a few minutes, tarragon and woodruff are added ... with water more juicy and yellow-fruity, not so Christmassy ... a nose to kneel down! |
| Вкус | 93 | Heavy sherry, again star anise, cinnamon, dark dried fruits ... with water the sherry becomes a little drier, but here the Christmas spirit doesn't go away, on the contrary. The wood increases again a little. |
| Финиш | 94 | Fat and oily, slightly glowing with an eternal aftertaste, a bit tart and woody ... with water not that long but still pure harmony! |
Sweet caramel and leather on the nose, not too complex, but a palate firework of light peat, sherry, again leather, fresh tropical fruit, almost candy like, slightly astringent, with a warming finish, medium length. Most unusual malt and grain whisky here from the demolished gem Lochside.
Very good old profile but unfortunately it seems there was a bit too much sulphur and thus there are some disturbing notes of leather and rubber - drinkable but not fully enjoyable
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 88 | Very nutty, old furniture, shoe polish, hints of leather and rubber, old sherry wood, dried fruits, dates, figs, acacia honey |
| Вкус | 85 | Oily, lots of dried fruits, plums, figs, dates, roasted nuts, burned sugar, toffee, fried bananas, sherry wood, hints leather and rubber still |
| Финиш | 82 | Long, warm, more old sherry and oaky notes, and more leather |
