Singleton of Dufftown Malt Master's Selection
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed February 18, 2022 (edited July 8, 2024)N14, P13, F13, B13 Pretty nondescript NAS. The aroma is straightforward, malty, a hint of wood, spirit biting nostrils. The taste is simple, unmemorable, slightly fruity and slightly spicy. Alcohol is noticeable. On the 3d or 4th day of consumption appeared an unpleasant flavor of fusel oil or of something resembling kerosene. Pass on it.Декабристов 28к2 -
N12, P13, F14, B11. Clean straw colour. And it’s the only good thing about this brandy. Distinct presence of fusel oil vapor in the aroma. Also, some vanilla and burnt oak. Also, later some medicine. Very sweet liqueur-like taste with a sudden acidity appearing in the aftertaste. Plum, wild yellow plum on the palate. Quite boozy with a promise of a headache the day after if you take more than a dram of it. In general, it's unpleasant to drink.4.0 EUR per BottleАроматный Мир

N18, P17, F16, B17 Blended from grape spirits of different growth areas (Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois and Bois Ordinaires). Pale gold colour. A starter level cognac which is quite quaffable on the whole. Aromas of ripe fruit (which are hard to identify), caramel, cinnamon. Sweetish taste of grape juice, dried fruit, dried pumpkin. The cognac showed no development during a couple of weeks of unhurried consumption. Moderately boozy but it’s OK overall.20.0 EUR per BottleАроматный Мир

N20, P19, F20, B20 This whisky is shiny amber in colour. The first 3 – 4 days of consumption the aroma is rich: moderate peat, old railroad tie, vanilla pudding, baker’s scents, yellow plums. Later custard cream notes joined the above. The taste is soft and tentative, slightly watery, with dried apricots and lingering warm aftertaste with some cinnamon and such. Well-balanced drink.40.0 EUR per BottleОтдохни

Connemara Original Peated Single Malt
Single Malt — Ireland
Reviewed November 19, 2021 (edited November 24, 2021)N20 P19 F18 B19 Corn color. Somehow, I am always glad to have this drink in spite of its simplicity. It has a well-measure degree of peatiness in the aroma over a sweet fruit carcass. The taste is nice and smooth, with ripe fresh fruit, dried apples and a little spice on the finish. The organoleptics is static but it is a good quaffer. -
N 18, P19, F18, B18. Amber color. The aromas of fresh paint (manifested just slightly), then yellow flowers, mimosa, dried fruit. The taste is hot with alcohol but in a pleasant way. The whisky doesn't gain from adding a spoon of water. Disregarding that alcohol is sticking out a little, the overall impression that it is a mild, soft and balanced drink. Although nothing complex about it.32.0 EUR per BottleКуулКлевер МясновЪ Отдохни

Arkhangelskaya Bitter
Other Spirits — Arkhangelsk, Russia
Reviewed September 4, 2021 (edited September 30, 2021)N10, P8, F8, B7. Boiled corn color. Oak slivers, apple juice, brandy, vanilla, sugar syrup, orange oil. All this is to produce a harsh drink this(. Alcohol is almost palpable in aroma and in taste. Dry wood and spices in taste, slight artificial bitterness. A drink to take in shots to get inebriated.3.8 USD per BottleО'КЕЙ -
The Glenrothes 10 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed August 4, 2021 (edited June 29, 2022)N17, P17, F18, B18. Golden color. Simple whisky overall. Slightly fruity, with light vanilla. Also some raw sweet dough in the aroma. Some unidentified herbal notes both in the aroma and taste. After several days in an open bottle seems to become thin. But maybe it is an illusion.28.0 EUR per BottleAzbuka Vkusa -
In my country it is sold at ABV40. My bottle has a serial number 26219 X, bottled on May 25, 2020. N24, P20, F22, B21. The organoleptic profile is rich and versatile: honey, macadamia nuts, syrup, cough medicine, herbs, boiled condensed milk, pickled plum, dry wood, roll-up tobacco. Maybe even too much of everything but better rich than poor. Finished the bottle with great pleasure but in the end decided that the taste was a bit harsher than desired. Still, it is very good.15.0 EUR per BottleВинЛаб Алкомагазин

N14, P11, F13, B12. Pretty awful stuff overall. The first smell exhaust is pure acetone, then it is just the smell of cheap whisky. The taste is alcoholic and harsh. Had a small glass and got a heartburn in 15 minutes. Was stupid enough to do it the next day with the same result. Good that it was a 50 cl bottle and I didn't pay for it.Красное&Белое
