Tasting
Nose
The first sniff of the glass reveals a very fruity bouquet that immediately puts you in a good mood. Green apple leads the orchestra – fresh, crisp and with the perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. This is accompanied by light floral notes reminiscent of a walk through an English garden, followed by vanilla, which forms the foundation like a warm basso profundo. And then – like a quiet guitarist playing in the back corner – a very subtle hint of peat smoke becomes noticeable. Not intrusive, not dominant, just there.
Palate
When the first sip hits your tongue, it quickly becomes clear why this whisky is called "unplugged". It is very creamy and smooth, as if someone had carefully sanded down all the rough edges. The balanced composition shows itself at its best: fruity, but not too sweet. The slightly spicy note at the end ensures that the dram does not become boring.
Finish
The finish presents itself with forest honey – not the industrial supermarket honey, but the real, liquid gold straight from the beekeeper. A hint of oak gives the finish structure, while subtle, slightly earthy smoke sings the final verse.
Verdicts
Marcel

Sascha
Turntable Spirits Unplugged impresses with its harmonious balance between fruity notes and delicate spice, where the subtle peat smoke acts as a refined structural element. Despite its moderate intensity, it lacks a bit of complexity and depth for seasoned whisky enthusiasts, yet remains a solid, well-balanced blended whisky with a pleasant creaminess.
