Remarks:
great complex whisky. Very tasty.
Overall I rate this Whisky:
- Nose:
smoky with lots of citrus fruits, oranges, slightly ashy, fruit, some leather and oak. Later on, some vanilla and a few nuts come through. But the smoky citrus notes dominate. - Taste:
strong on the palate, oak, citrus fruits, oranges, apple, spices, oily and a little creamy, vanilla and a little caramel, slightly nutty, a little sweet - Finish:
smoky, citrusy, slightly sweet, vanilla and caramel. Fruit and chocolate are added later. Slightly bitter oak notes at the end.
