Remarks:
very tasty standard. Very complex and wonderfully integrated aromas. Extremely tasty. Great malt.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    Smoky maritime, slightly salty, yet sweet and fruity, very aromatic smoke, herbs. Very nice nose. The smoke is well integrated.

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    Smoky sweet, fruity, malty, nutty, spicy, oak comes later. Becoming oily and wonderfully complex

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    Smoky sweet, spicy, some oak and malt, dark chocolate, a little bit tart and slightly oily, a little nutty, quite long and aromatic
