Remarks:
very good value for the money in my opinion. Not particularly complex now, but neither does the cask have a huge woody influence. Very tasty

Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points

  • Nose: 88/100 points
    light smoke, citrus fruits, sweet, maritime notes, oak, campfire, some apple, some herbs. Looks pretty fresh

  • Taste: 88/100 points
    Maritime, sweet, citrus fruits, some campfire smoke in the background. Some herbs, apple, a little pepper, then becoming oily

  • Finish: 88/100 points
    Smoky, very sweet, light fruits, apple, slightly salty, maritime. Getting a bit bitter at the end
