Remarks:
nice malt to drink, less to smell.

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 84/100 points
    rather boring and quite thin
    somewhat spicy with a few bright fruits.
    Some sweetness in the background

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    Lots of malt, nuts and vanilla. Creamy and slightly oily. Sweet and slightly yellow fruits. Very pleasant mouthfeel.
    But you have to let the whisky breathe in the glass for a while.

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    the same aromas as on the palate only in a slightly weaker form. medium length
