Remarks:
very complex, round and soft, nice fruity notes, needs time and warmth so give it time in the glass and keep the glass hand warm is my advice.

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

  • Nose: 90/100 points
    Immediately after pouring it into the glass, there are adhesive notes which, however, quickly evaporate. It takes time in the glass. If you give it that and some warmth, then there will be a lot of fruits, light fruits, grapes, then vanilla, becoming sweet, red fruits, berries, oak, the walls of the glass damp and nose deep into the glass will reveal a lot of ginger

  • Taste: 90/100 points
    Fruity with berries, sweet with vanilla, very spicy, oak. If you wiggle more intensely in the mouth, the ginger also comes out in the throat. Becoming oily, nutty, creamy

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    a lot of malt, sweet with vanilla, slightly spicy oak, more fruit in the background, in between very slightly nutty, long
