Remarks:
Quite an interesting combination of flavors. Strong and somewhat impetuous. Only the chemical note in the nose does not appeal. The alcohol is not so well integrated, which of course can be due to the young age.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 87/100 points
    At first there is a slightly chemical note, then it changes into fruity and slightly sweet, a brief hint of foliage odor, a little alcoholic, dried fruit, a little caramel, berries, light herbs and floral notes

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    very spicy start, a lot of sherry and raisins, getting hot, dried fruits, also here a little sweetness and the caramel paired with honey, slightly chocolaty, getting oily nutty

  • Finish: 87/100 points
    spicy with sherry and slightly nutty. Some citrus fruits. Medium to long.
