Remarks:
Very tasty smoky malt, nice combination of flavors.
I would guess of a Lagavulin.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 87/100 points
    sweet, smoky, vanilla and light fruits, spicy, herbs, with warmth the smoke and alcohol become more intense, later maritime notes and salt come, with water the maritime and fruity notes become more intense and the smoke goes more towards the campfire

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    BBQ smoke comes to mind first, fruity sweet and yet slightly bitter and spicy. Very tasty flavors. With water, the smoke fades into the background and the sweetness gets the upper hand paired with bright fruits.

  • Finish: 87/100 points
    Smoky, sweetish and spicy, bitter, somewhat leathery, salty, medium-length, slightly light fruits in the background. Slightly malty. With water, the finish is softer and sweeter, very pleasant.
