Remarks:
beautiful young malt.
Very reserved on the nose. There it is practically hiding.
But on the palate and in the finish it shows a nice strong profile.
Not particularly complex, but very drinkable.
Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points
- Nose: 86/100 points
Malty at the beginning, then there are fruity notes, honey, subtly sweet, nuts, herbs, very light citrus fruits, very soft. The alcohol seems well integrated. - Taste: 88/100 points
Malty, grain, spicy, sweet, caramel, then a bit spicy, dried fruit, becomes stronger and stronger on the tongue. Slightly sour - Finish: 87/100 points
strong finish, sweet, malty, nutty. dried fruits, slightly sour but pleasant.
