This new edition is the 3rd instalment in the No Name series, complementing those bottled in 2017 and 2019. If No Name #1 was peaty like Trash Metal and No Name #2 in a more progressive style, then this 3rd opus is Opera Rock, colorful, exuberant, a real spectacle! Each episode in the No Name series follows a common structure: a strongly peated malt whisky dominates, tempered by a malt whisky with a more subtle smoky character. These are supported by unpeated malt whiskies that bring fruitiness, elegance and spicy sweetness.

Description
In this 3rd edition, the single malt from the Laphroaig distillery takes first place with notes of seaweed and barbecue, while the malt whisky from the Bowmore distillery brings gourmet notes of mango and pineapple. Mortlach and Clynelish round out the blend. A vibrant whisky, expressive and wild but also very graceful.
Tasting note
Nose
Well-fruited nose of apple, pear, stewed grapes and candied cherry. The almond is also present, but caramelized. The profile is fine and the woodiness delicate. The occasional whiff of alcohol is still noticeable.
Palate
The fruitiness on the nose is more intense than on the palate. The apples and pears are rather macerated in brandy, but they give way to the woodiness, which brings a distinct bitterness to the finish. At times, almonds creep into the tasting, accompanied by a touch of sweetness as on the nose.
Overall
Long, accomplished. Finely chocolaty, it is also rancid (cherry brandy, apricot liqueur). It evokes the harvesters’ baskets filled with golden bunches of the folle blanche grape variety. Retro olfaction oscillates between prune, vanilla and dark chocolate. The empty glass is roasted (tobacco, coffee).
