Remarks:
it can’t convince me in the nose. Find it too weak, musty and dirty. It is more pleasant on the palate and in the finish

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 84/100 points
    dirty, musty, slightly smoky, very sweet, otherwise very restrained, some citrus fruits. The alcohol content of 62% is imperceptible in the nose

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    sweet, citrus fruits, some campfire, pepper, vanilla, caramel and nuts

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    smoky, strong, citrus fruits, sweet, vanilla, nuts
