Remarks:
Beautiful wine barrel aging. The aromas on the palate and on the finish are completely different to what the nose suggests.

Overall I rate this Whisky:

  • Nose:
    Citrus fruits, orange peel, grapefruit, sweet, malty, nutty, vanilla, light floral notes, some chocolate and honey in the background, fresh herbs

  • Taste:
    Sweet, malty and nutty at the start, then come fruits and some cereals, light vanilla, later some fruit acidity, grapes, becoming slightly tart with a hint of dry leather.

  • Finish:
    Sweet and malty. Later it becomes fruity and the leather and light fruity acidity become apparent again.
