Remarks:
Notes from a blind tasting:
a very tasty malt. I think he drinks particularly well in summer because he comes across very fresh. I like it.
Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points
- Nose: 88/100 points
At first the alcohol is slightly present on the nose, then it becomes fruity with lots of light fruits, spicy, lots of herbs and floral, grassy notes. Slightly minty - Taste: 88/100 points
spicy and slightly sweet, lots of light fruits, here again the herbs and floral notes as well as the mint. Later comes a little pepper, but it doesn’t stay long. Then it becomes drier and a little bitter - Finish: 88/100 points
Aromatic finish, lots of herbs and floral notes, a bit of malt and light sweetness, lots of fruit, I would say very refreshing. At the end comes the somewhat bitter, dry one again.
