Wines N' roses Born to be Wild Bobal 2021
So, you're into biker culture and bourbon, but you make wine? Okay.
Peppery, phenolic, drinkable, and the balance is good. A normal table wine without any surprises.
7.5/10

Smokehead High Voltage 58%
Before I could gather my thoughts for a proper review, the bottle was empty.
Nose: smoke, iodine, machine oil, with just a hint of dried fruit. If you add water, you'll get gasoline and walnuts.
Taste: heavy, but not harsh, slightly salty, dry, the smoky-peaty notes dominate the entire palette, with perhaps a hint of rosemary or pepper, but only when you add water.
Finish: pure iodine and peat, with a bit of malt if you add water.
Very aggressive, not very complex, the only good thing about it is the high alcohol content. You can have a shot in the evening and get a good night's sleep. It's the most phenolic thing I've ever drunk, and I don't mind a bit of smoke, but here it's overwhelming. The whisky is simply uninteresting, a low-class whisky, to put it bluntly. Yes, it's drinkable, yes, it's even pleasant, but it lacks that "wow" effect, that dozen associations that we usually spend so much money on whisky for. There's none of that here.
82/100
