Remarks:
Notes from a blind tasting
What I like best about this malt is the finish. In my opinion, this is where he has the most flavors. here you can also tell that he is a bit older. If it were consistently like the aromas in the nose, then I would estimate it to be less than 18 years old.
Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points
- Nose: 86/100 points
A lot of malt and grain as well as some nuts and citrus fruits. Sweet with a little caramel - Taste: 87/100 points
also here a lot of grain and malt combined with caramel, sweet light fruits, spicy oak notes, some nuts and tobacco - Finish: 88/100 points
and again very intense malt and grain notes. Now the barrel influence can also be felt more clearly. Sweet, caramel, tobacco, some leather, citrus fruits
