Remarks:
beautiful malt. Very complex due to the different barrel maturations, especially in the nose.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    Oak, a bit spicy, very fruity, raisins, plums, a pair of citrus fruits and exotic fruits, then there is a lot of honey, sweet, vanilla and caramel, some chocolate, then it switches back to the citrus fruits

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    sweet fruity start, peaches, lots of honey, vanilla and caramel, then comes some oak, fading into citrus fruits, becoming a bit tart towards the end

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    spicy fresh, fruity, slightly sweet, spicy, beautiful oak notes. At the end the citrus fruits again and slightly tart notes
