Remarks:
pleasant malt, easy drinking. Nice complex nose

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    sweet, herbs and some floral notes, citrus fruits, the alcohol is somewhat present. Later there is a little vanilla and a little nuts, after a while there is some chocolate and also slightly spicy oak followed by light fruits and a little honey. After a long time open in the glass, the alcohol also decreases and it now appears softer

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    spicy at first combined with herbs and a subtle sweetness, lots of light fruits, a little pepper, later a little malt is added as well as slightly nuts and citrus fruits. In the background the chocolate notes again

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    Sweet, malt, nuts, light fruits, spicy notes, citrus fruits as well as chocolate, medium length
