Remarks:
Wow! That was a very special taste experience which I haven’t had before. Really surprisingly great this combination of flavors, very tasty.
Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points
- Nose: 88/100 points
Coniferous forest, tree sap, pine needles, light fruits, some mango. Then something sweet comes through with a little vanilla. After a long sniffing, I also have chocolate notes slightly in the background - Taste: 88/100 points
Spicy start, here again the tree resin and the pine needles, then comes ginger which spreads on the tongue, herbs, light fruits - Finish: 88/100 points
powerful finish, very spicy and herbaceous, a subtle sweetness comes and lots of light fruits. Light chocolate notes in the background paired with a nutmeg note
