Longrow Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection 12 YO
Geplaatst: 23 Dec 2011, 21:10
Nose: Rum very obviously. Quite fruity and oily, but not in a raisin-like way; rather citrus-infused. Slightly rubber-ish as well.
Palate: Sweet & sour. Lots of citrus and obviously rum, but the rum has a less sweetening impact than you might expect. Smoke as well, but very little for a Longrow. Leather?
Finish: Initially the citrus fruits are dominant, but they quickly fade away. The rum remains, so after a few minutes you’d swear you have been drinking a Caribbean rum. Very pleasant.
Conclusion: It’s a bit too sour to give it an astronomic score. Nevertheless a lovely, quite different, whisky that I never reach for at random, but only when I fancy this one specifically. 89/100.
Edit: het is me gelukt om tasting notes van Cadenhead's zelf te vinden, die melden peat smoke in alle regionen. Ze zullen wel ergens in het proeflokaal een fles Ardbeg open hebben laten staan
