Remarks:
pleasant lowlander. Not particularly complex, but offers nice and fresh flavors

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    starts slightly sweet at first. Then there are a lot of intense floral notes like when you smell a bouquet of flowers. Then there is a whole flood of lemons. The alcohol is present but not too intrusive. The slight sweetness is now joined by a little vanilla and, very slightly, caramel and nuts

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    powerful start that tickles on the tongue. Now it is very sweet and fruity. Lots of citrus fruits, caramel, nuts, pepper, becoming oily and creamy, slightly spicy oak.

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    very intense, sweet and fruity with beautiful floral notes. Again the citrus fruits and a little vanilla. Medium length
