Longrow Single cask for the Nectar (en)

This bottle bottled by Springbank on behalf of The Nectar is one of the "love it or hate it" and is priced at 89 euros. This earned him finish in last place of the session, despite rave notes (92) but also very low notes (60) a difference of 32 points. A bottle that some love and others hate it.
Here are the notes extremes:

Johannes Sauer

Colour: Very pale, white wine. Nose: The first impression is the one of fine, soft peat, combined with fresh fruits (green apple) and wood preservative, like a freshly painted wooden garden hut. Sawdust combining nicely with fine floral and herbal notes. Nothing irritating or disturbing in this maybe a little biting nose, it announces strong alcohol, might be a cask strength bottling. Taste: Yesss! The cask strength is confirmed here on the palate. Nearly same as described in the nose, fine nifty peat, but not too pushing at all, less fruit but more wood and sawdust. With water added finer and more complex notes of dried fruits (banana, figs, walnuts) show up. Finish: Beautiful. Herbal and bitter in nearly every region of the tongue. Mingling and mesmerising for a good long and pleasant while. Conclusion: Very fresh and young, maybe no great dram but a very nice whisky for every lover of peated and wooden notes. Hard to guess if it is from Islay or one of those new well peated Speysiders. I think, I’ll tend more on the sea side, but am not able to tell a distillery, I guess this is no standard bottling (if it is, I am very curious). Exactly my cup of tea, glad to get this bottle...

Alouis

Color: White wine Nose: Dominated by the grain, some sweet notes, pear brandy and a vegetal touch. Taste: Not defined, especially in the cereal and alcohol. Acidity appear then the lemon zest. Final medium, sugar and cereal. Immature whisky.
