Remarks:
very beautiful and complex nose. Really appealing. However, I find that it decreases a bit in taste and finish compared to the variety of aromas on the nose. Still a very good malt with a nice ripening
Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points
- Nose: 88/100 points
first light fruity wood notes. If you hold your nose into the glass opening more intensely, a smell comes out that reminds me of a kind of glue, but it disappears after a short time. Now there are beautiful, more intense wood notes with citrus fruitiness. With a little space and time, it has something minty, peppery or very aromatic herbs. Only very light smoke in the background - Taste: 88/100 points
very spicy woody notes at the start, transitioning into a light fruitiness, but the spice predominates. Becoming oily and a little hotter at the tip of the tongue, very full in taste - Finish: 88/100 points
light smoky notes and spicy wood notes which merge into a sweet note, long finish, fruity and later becoming a bit bitter.
