Remarks:
wonderful malt. Beautiful aroma profile on the nose. I like it very much. Very balanced and dangerously tasty malt.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    sweet fruity with pineapple and citrus fruits, freshly spicy, vanilla comes through, the tropical aromas with the pineapple are very present. Very intense light fruity nose

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    sweet and spicy, lots of light fruits, malt, some vanilla, later some pepper, nutty, very tasty aromas

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    spicy, nutty, sweet, again the light fruits, long finish. Delicious
