nice octomore. Less smoky than the old editions 06 and 07, but a very nice combination of flavors. The alcohol seems very well integrated.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    strong smoke at first, fruity with apricot, caramel and vanilla, becoming sweeter over time

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    spicy start, sweet fruity, a lot of ash, smoke, vanilla, light pepper, becoming creamy, nuts in the background

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    Smoky, very sweet finish, merging into fruity, vanilla and caramel, also here slightly nutty.
