Remarks:
I let the dram breathe in the glass for about an hour. A great malt. Very pleasant aroma combination. Very balanced and the smoke is well integrated. Delicious. I would have thought him older blindly.
Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points
- Nose: 89/100 points
Nice start, some smoke, rather reserved, lots of fruit, chocolate, slightly spicy, later some peppermint and a hint of smoked ham, really great aromas - Taste: 89/100 points
fruity sweet in the beginning accompanied by a subtle smoky note. Chocolate, slightly pepper, very slightly bitter later, dark chocolate, at the end the smoked ham comes again but this time on the ashy side, becoming oily - Finish: 89/100 points
long finish, again sweet and fruity with a light smoky note, but here also a little salty in the background. Chocolate present again here too
