Enjoyed a bottle of HSE 2005 Single Malt Finish on a sunny Sunday. Bottle and label design look very nice. Golden color. Smokiness is prevalent, the first thing you get is smokiness when opening up the bottle. Strong oak and the traditional whisky like burn. Surprisingly dry. For whisky lovers, add 2 points.
Sugar cane juice. dry.
i smell smoke! i smell whisky! i smell rhum! spice, vanilla.
i taste the full bomb. smokehead islay whisky finish with a backpack of the sea ad phenols! still the rhum is breathing on the top. great work.
10/10 - subtract 9 points if you like sweet rum and don´t like peaty whisky!
a very special rhum with an extraordinary taste! not for every moment. try it if you are on a experimental trip!
Tout est dans le titre ! Ce rhum a fini de vieillir en fut de Smokehead, un single malt de l'ile d'Islay, un whisky très fumé à l'image d'un Laphroaig. Cela ressort immédiatement au nez, puis à mesure que l'on agite le verre on retrouve le boisé et les notes de fruits exotiques. Lors de la dégustation (et même d'une dégustation à une autre) on passe du whisky au rhum par vagues, c'est très surprenant.
Ce rhum ne constitue pas qu'une curiosité, il est vraiment très bon, mais je ne lui mets que 7 car il est spécial pour un non averti.
Whisky flavor over powers the delicate rum flavors 5 out of 10
