BenRiach Curiositas (en)

This very affordable bottle (39 euros) received scores between 89 and 75, a difference of 14 points with an average of 82.41. very honorable score for this popular in a bottle blind tasting.
Here are the notes extremes:

Alouis
Color: straw yellow
Nose: First peat and the peat is mixed with citrus fruit and background touches of iodine.
A stylish Islay and quite fruity.
Taste: Peat is a little more present on the cold ashes, then quickly reaches the citrus lemon on the finish with spices.
Long and pleasant finish.
89/100

jmputz
Color: Gold
The nose is fairly linear marked by peat and fruit with a light citrus acidity that fortunately brightens up this first nose which is rather austere.
Like the nose, the mouth is very linear and has very little complexity. Peat dominates citrus. All without frills. A piece of peat soaked in a little stale orange juice ?
The finish is relatively short, perpetuating the impression ofa bit simplistic peat and after a few moments ... nothing anymore.
This whisky is not for lovers of single malt, but a good appetizer.
75/100
