Remarks:
A great malt with a unique profile. I haven’t had a profile like this before.
A drop of water opens the malt a little further and it seems even more complex and fruity.
Delicious!

Overall I rate this Whisky 93/100 points

  • Nose: 94/100 points
    light smoke, citrus fruits, dirty, old dry oak wood furniture, some pepper, slightly salty, maritime notes, spices and herbs, worn dry leather

  • Taste: 93/100 points
    creamy with a slightly dirty smoky note, citrus fruits, oily, malty, spices and herbs, leather, old oak furniture, light fruits. Very complex and voluminous

  • Finish: 92/100 points
    the flavors from the palate can also be found here, but slightly weaker, but a sweeter note comes through.
