Nine Rivers Distillery The Founders’ Casks WWCo Expression 1

Remarks:
Very nice and pleasant single malt.
Nice fruity profile.
But you have to give this whisky some time in the glass so that it can unfold. Then comes a great fruity nose to the fore.
Despite cask strength, this malt can be enjoyed pure without adding water.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

• Nose: 91/100 points
  fruity with grapes, light berries, raisins, dried fruits, then some dark berries come along with citrus fruits. Vanilla with some caramel. Later becoming spicy with some white pepper. After a long time smelling, aromatic oak notes come through
  
  
• Taste: 89/100 points
  strong fruity attack, light fruit acidity, caramel, vanilla, some pepper, apples, slightly creamy and oily, with the strong fruity dominating the whole time. Nuts appear later. Subtly sweet and some notes of young wood.
  
  
• Finish: 88/100 points
  strong as already on the palate. Very fruity and now swinging a little more in the sweet direction. However, the fruit acid is still slightly present here. At the very end, a slight bitterness appears, which does not last long and gives way to the fruity notes again.
