Ardmore 1977 Samaroli 35th Anniversary

Review by: Raygun Due to an extremely generous friend, I was gifted a set of samples from one of the virtual masterclasses from the 2021 Whisky Show: Old and Rare run by The Whisky Exchange. A set of six drams selected by Angus MacRaild, Jonny McMillan, and Sukinder Singh. This is actually the most recent one. This Ardmore was bottled in 2003 for Samaroli’s 35th anniversary, so 25-26 years old.…

Glenlivet 1976/2001 #5521 Sa Very Limited Edition (45 %)

Glenlivet er et klassisk Speyside-destilleri det har kommet mange bra tapninger fra, men kanskje pga. den vanlige Glenlivet 12s status som en «enkel» entry level-whisky og destilleriets størrelse og «bestselgerstatus», har det en lei tendens til å bli avfeid av enkelte (en skjebne det deler med f.eks. Glenfiddich) som «bra, men kjedelig». Om det er fortjent eller ikke, kan diskuteres … Men om dagens offisielle standardtapninger kanskje ikke er superspennende, er det mye snadder å finne hos de uavhengige tapperne. Dette er tilfeldigvis en sånn: en Glenlivet destillert i 1976 og tappet i 2001 av den legendariske italienske tapperen Samaroli. Den er en enkeltfattapning, lagret på sherryfat (hvilken type/størrelse er ikke spesifisert) og det kom 648 flasker.

På nesen fikk jeg noe treverk først og fremst, så sherry, noe honning og malt. Vanilje. Smaken var søt, med malt, toffee, honning og vanilje. Halvtørr. Avslutningen var også halvtørr, og middels lang, med malt, honning og eiketre. Med et par dråper vann kom det til noe mer karamell og eiketre på nesen; smaken var stadig søt, med malt og vanilje. En anelse mer fruktig nå, med litt druer, grønne epler og et hint av tropisk frukt. Avslutningen ble litt lengre.

Et fint, subtilt sherrypreg her, den framstår ikke som noen såkalt «sherrybombe». Noe tynn, særlig i avslutningen kanskje, men med et par dråper vann tar den seg veldig opp, og blir til en ganske elegant og kompleks sak, om enn noe «skjør».

Karakter: 88/100

Review: Fettercairn 22 Years Old 1995 Cask 2809 (Samaroli) #Fettercairn #singlemalt #scotch #whisky

Fettercairn 22 Years Old 1995 Cask 2809 What they say This Highland single malt from Fettercairn distillery was aged for 22 years after distillation occurred in a double pot still, before Samaroli bottled at 45% ABV in July 2017, with an outturn of 320 bottles.

2006 Islay 9yo bottled by Samaroli

Review #10 is the 2006 Islay 9yo bottled by Samaroli

Nose: Reminds me of the ocean, salty, a hint of seaweed

Taste: Still the salt and seaweed, but now I have some driftwood smokiness

Finish: All those flavours start to go and I get a... lemon coming through... not strong but just that hint of citrus at the end that lasts and lasts.

Overall: It reminds me of hanging out at the beach on Vancouver Island. I really enjoyed this dram, I think it is one of the best Islays I've had in my relative short experience with them. If anyone knows of an Islay like this that I can get in Canada I would be grateful!

85/100

The 22nd day of the Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar brings back Italian bottler Samaroli, which is a sure sign that this one will be elegant and weird. 

In this case, we’re looking at a very simple blended Scotch: a combination of a cask of Tormore and a cask from Alt A Bhainne. These are definitely lesser-known distilleries, but fortunately they grazed my palate in last year’s version of the SWAC; Tormore was featured in a Samaroli Spey blend, paired with a cask of Miltonduff (spoiler alert: a single cask of Tormore is also coming up tomorrow!), and Alt A Bhainne in a 7 year-old single cask. The latter was not to my liking, very floral and Glenrothes-ian. So...starting on the back foot there, Samaroli.

Casks #20263 and #187860 have been aged for 21 glorious years before being smashed together. This marriage comes out at 45% ABV.

Call it their defining characteristic, I guess, but the nose on this is extremely delicate. There is a lot of grass and barley with a floral undertone, vanilla, and a touch of sea salt. Green melon also provides a little bit of fruitiness as well. On the tongue it is complex, with a delightfully creamy texture. It is very sweet, with a hint of chocolate and a good amount of vanilla. The fruit comes hard to the hoop as well though, with some citrus and apple, maybe pear. The spice rounds things out, bringing cinnamon and nutmeg and clove, along with a mineral note. Heading into the finish you’re greeted with grass and something floral, transitioning into spice, bitter and peppery to the last.

Considering my experience with Alt A Bhainne, this was a surprisingly complex and pretty okay blend. Definitely on the more aggressive tip of my Samaroli experiences.

Longrow 1987/2002 #115 Sa (55 %)

Longrow er som kjent røyket Springbank, en variant destilleriet begynte med i 1973. Mellom 1979 og 1989 var Springbank stengt, men de hadde en noe begrenset produksjon i 1987 også, og godt er jo det, for ellers hadde vi ikke fått smakt dagens dose … Dette er en uavhengig Longrow-tapning fra italienske Samaroli; destillert i 1987 og tappet i april 2002. Det skulle gjøre den rundt 15 år gammel, og det burde jo være en ganske trivelig alder på en Longrow. Det kom 312 flasker.

På nesen fikk jeg hvit pepper og gjødsel (!), vanilje, røyk, urter, litt anis, toffee og eiketre. Smaken var søt, med pærer, eple, estere, røyk og eiketre. Avslutningen var lang, med pære, eple, vanilje, korn, karamell og litt Earl Grey-te. Med noen dråper vann la røyken seg litt på nesen, og det kom til litt flere «bondegård»-aktige noter, med en slags blanding av våt stein, jord og leire, silo, høy og lignende. Smaken fikk noe mer anis nå, eiketre, malt, ingefær, Lapsang souchong-te, litt salt, toffee og vanilje. Stadig ganske søt. Avslutningen ble noe lengre nå, med røyk, te, vanilje, urter, litt marsipan og modne epler.

En veldig røyket Longrow, så det er fort gjort å ta den for å være en eller annen Islay-whisky, i hvert fall på nesen, i en blindsmaking – som jeg tilfeldigvis fikk servert den i, men uten å la meg lure, kan jeg for en gangs skyld skryte av. Særlig på smak etter litt vann og tid i glasset viste den seg etter hvert å være en ganske erketypisk Springbank-affære, med lag på lag av såkalte rustikke bondegårdsnoter. Samarolis Longrow 1987-tapninger skal visstnok være legendariske, og dette ga jo en forklaring på grunnen til det, kan man si … En fabelaktig whisky som jeg gjerne tar mer av.
