Remarks:
Notes from a blind tasting
Overall I rate this Whisky 83/100 points
- Nose: 83/100 points
a lot of oak, some dried fruits, slightly sweet, the oak notes are very superficial. Somehow reminiscent of a Bowmore without smoke, you can guess a pair of citrus fruits. After a while in the air, the oak notes take back a little and a pair of fruit and malt emerge - Taste: 83/100 points
Quite soft in the beginning, sweetish malty, some fruit and vanilla, nuts and caramel, the oak is not as present here as in the nose - Finish: 83/100 points
quite short, sweet with the nuts and the malt, then there are citrus fruits and a slightly sour note
