Remarks:
not bad but not particularly outstanding either.
From the nose to the palate to the finish, there is a bit of chaos between the flavors.
Adding a few drops of water doesn’t change that.

Overall I rate this Whisky:

  • Nose:
    Malt, grain, floral notes, vanilla, light fruits, slightly pungent alcohol, some herbs. A little lime shows up later.

  • Taste:
    Herbs, lime, slightly sweet, floral notes, malt, caramel, grains. Later slightly peppery and slightly oily

  • Finish:
    lots of malt and grain with some bright fruit. Strong and warming.
