Remarks:
nice standard. Quite soft and balanced. Nothing very special now, but by no means do anything wrong. A nice easy drinking malt.
Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points
- Nose: 86/100 points
soft yet spicy oak, fruity, vanilla, honey, restrained sherry notes, looks rather dry, dried fruits and chocolate come after a long smell. Slight citrus fruits in the background - Taste: 86/100 points
sweet and soft in the beginning, then come the soft and very slightly spicy oak notes paired with chocolate and sherry notes. Even the slightly bitter comes through again and the fruits show up more in the background as well as nuts - Finish: 86/100 points
fruity finish, sweet, vanilla, caramel and chocolate. The soft and slightly spicy oak notes are also back. Here it looks less bitter.
