About this bottle

Released in 2015, this release is from Glen Moray’s Elgin Classic line-up. This bares no-age statement and is a lightly-peated release. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels. A nice introduction to peat if you’ve just getting into the category. Bottled at 40% ABV.

Tha Reaper 2.0

Color: normally i dont comment on color, but this whisky is so light in color that i just had to mention it. like it has only been in contact with wood for a very short time, or the wood has been reused very often. Nose: very light and simple. a bit unappealing actually. I get light peat, lemon zest, and vanilla. not much more. Taste: also here its light. Light on the peat, and then a LOT of sweetness. i can get cookie dough, ripe banana, dried apricots, caramel. a bit oily. Finish: gone before you know it. dark chololate and peat on the finish. I would recommend this on a summer evening when you are not looking for deep interesting whiskies that keep on giving, or for people who are new to peated territory. For the price its an OK whisky, but its just too simple to please in the long term. the taste will grow on you after a couple of sips, but it will never blow you away.

Letar billigare alternativ till Laphroaig. Denna känns för billig i smaken. Ganska tom i smaken och inte ordentligt rökig, den bara ”är” liksom. Liten hint av päron. Känns inte som den fyller munnen. Bättre med en liten skvätt vatten.

Szarkie 3.3

The nose is mostly peat, a bit of vanilla. The palate is tobacco, honey, vanilla, and peat. The peat is quite balanced here, not overpowering. The finish is short, dry, spicy, and smooth.

Seems unbalanced. I truelly enjoyed some of the NAS Glen Morays but peated one does not seem what they are best at :( [JG2018]

Light peat with some fruit. Undercurrent of typical iodine

피트 향은 옅지만 맛은 생각보다 피트하다. 하지만 특징있는 피트 맛으로 보긴 어렵다.
