Remarks:
wonderfully complex malt. Very aromatic and complex on the nose. Very tasty and the alcohol is wonderfully integrated. I like it very much
Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points
- Nose: 90/100 points
I have a lot of dried fruits, a slight sulfur note, followed by an intense fruit basket full of dark berries, followed by chocolate and caramel, slightly spicy oak, furniture polish, beeswax, at the end slightly leather and a bit tart. The alcohol is barely noticeable - Taste: 90/100 points
Strong sherry with lots of dried fruits, also the berries from the nose, chocolate, honey, spicy oak notes, very slightly sour notes, furniture polish, later becoming oily - Finish: 90/100 points
Sweet in the beginning with a lot of honey, vanilla and caramel, spicy oak, a bit sour, very aromatic
