pleasant lowlander. Not particularly complex, but offers nice and fresh flavors
Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points
- Nose: 86/100 points
starts slightly sweet at first. Then there are a lot of intense floral notes like when you smell a bouquet of flowers. Then there is a whole flood of lemons. The alcohol is present but not too intrusive. The slight sweetness is now joined by a little vanilla and, very slightly, caramel and nuts - Taste: 86/100 points
powerful start that tickles on the tongue. Now it is very sweet and fruity. Lots of citrus fruits, caramel, nuts, pepper, becoming oily and creamy, slightly spicy oak. - Finish: 86/100 points
very intense, sweet and fruity with beautiful floral notes. Again the citrus fruits and a little vanilla. Medium length
