Remarks:
very nice malt. The cinnamon notes give it an interesting profile. Quite tasty.

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    A lot of sweet fruits, slightly spicy, cinnamon, cherry liqueur, the alcohol is only slightly present, later the spicy cinnamon notes dominate the profile

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    Again, a slightly heavy sweetness at the beginning followed by the spicy cinnamon notes. Fruity with herbs. It dries up slightly later.

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    Nice fruity finish, slightly sweet, but the spicy notes predominate. Cinnamon notes only come through easily. A long time. Slightly dry and bitter
