    It's definitely worth a try, it's wonderful with four stars, it's great, nothing else, I just don't see the reason for five stars when it comes to something related to taste and aroma. Besides, I have tried several labels in this category, I have some at the top of my list, but that doesn't mean I will stop searching.
    P.S. I'm not a sommelier, but I have stopped believing for many, many years that Johnny Red with cola is the best

    The expectations devoured this Single Malt.... It comes from a distillery that was until recently the northernmost in the mainland (now there is another one more north, about 2 kilometers away if I'm not mistaken). Its myth is related to the remote area and its intensely maritime character (which I couldn't find anywhere, let's say in a Highland Park or a Talisker or even a Jura, but let's consider those as island whiskies). So here we clearly have a continental whisky, and moreover a relatively weak version of a Speyside type. Aromatically, it is very refined, NOT alcoholic at all, with a strong butterscotch note that predisposes you for something stronger. Clear notes of caramel and butterscotch, with the latter clearly starting the taste palate.... and then poof.... it disappears.... yellow flowers and lemongrass come in very strongly, and it finishes with a very light milk chocolate, the kind that doesn't exist, with a little milk and a lot of cocoa. Interesting and complex, it has divided the experts a lot, I would say it probably suffers from bipolarity due to the distillery's chronic isolation. To be appreciated, a lot of experience is needed (which I don't possess) and I fully understand why the connoisseurs are so divided. Definitely start from somewhere else and make sure you have tasted at least double-digit numbers of single malts before. It could easily be a Japanese blend in the bottle and you would never know. Unique, and for that reason, it gets 4 stars. If I tried it first, I think it would be at 3 stars, but I will probably keep buying it as a go-to bottle after years to replace, let's say, the everyday Glenfiddich 12

    An excellent single malt whiskey for its price, with a unique flavor. It should not be compared to peated or sweet single malts. I would describe it as rougher and saltier. It's better to try it at a bar before purchasing it.

    Disappointment. I was expecting a very decent 12-year-old whisky at a good price level, comparable to Talisker 10 in terms of price and reputation. Instead, I found a light, characterless whisky that borders on completely uninteresting to downright annoying. The taste of burnt plastic lingers at the end, and it's one of those times when I would prefer a quick finish, something that should not happen with any whisky. There are some good ideas scattered around, but clearly something went wrong with the barrels used.

    Wonderful summer, seaside, light, flowers, honey, a hint of barrel, a touch of vanilla.
