Remarks:
Extremely fruity. Very complex. Really delicious. You can’t smell it long enough. Fantastic

Overall I rate this Whisky:

  • Nose:
    Intense dark and slightly fermented fruit, berries, orange peel, dried fruit, raisins, light sulphur, spicy oak. A real fruit basket on the nose. Later on there is some dark honey and leather. There is also some chocolate, but it is rather restrained. The fruit clearly dominates here.

  • Taste:
    very intense dark fruits, berries, slightly fermented fruits, raisins, some sulphur in the background, creamy and oily, some honey and chocolate in the background, spicy oak, leather, orange peel.

  • Finish:
    dried fruits, oak, dark berries, furniture polish, vanilla and caramel, some leather.
