Remarks:
Notes from a blind tasting

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    Smoked ham, but not extreme smoke, rather subtle, very slightly light fruits, light floral notes with a few herbs.

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    Creamy at the very beginning and then rapidly becoming sharper. some ash, citrus fruits, pepper, a bit dirty, later becoming a bit tart.

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    Smoked ham coated with ash, pepper, ginger, citrus. The palate seems a bit numb
