Remarks:
very complex, round and balanced, wonderful malt, excellently coordinated aromas.

Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points

  • Nose: 88/100 points
    Nutty, fruity, slightly sweet with caramel and vanilla, then comes spicy oak with some sherry, almonds and a touch of honey

  • Taste: 88/100 points
    Sherry, spicy oak, a bit sweet and fruity, then comes caramel, ginger and becoming a little hotter

  • Finish: 88/100 points
    Sherry and fruit, sweet, spicy oak, nutty, mostly hazelnuts and almonds. Long and warming
