Remarks:
This malt is convincing on the nose.
A really pleasant profile.
From the palate to the finish I find the malt a bit too bitter. A nice whisky nonetheless.
Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points
- Nose: 89/100 points
fruity onset, red and yellow fruits, grapes, some sweet nuts, almonds, caramel, a hint of mint, some spicy oak and very light white pepper - Taste: 87/100 points
creamy start, fruity. here the light fruits dominate. But the grapes show themselves again. Light fruit acid, light caramel and a hint of nuts.
We a little more bitter towards the end - Finish: 86/100 points
Soft fruity finish. subtly sweet. Also here becoming a bit bitter towards the end.
