Remarks:
I think the malt looks younger. Still delicious. Would call it a summer whisky. I had no flavors from a heavy weight cake. I can’t make that connection.
Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points
- Nose: 86/100 points
fresh, herbs, citrus fruits, oak, some pepper, grass, floral notes, straw. Looks younger on the nose. A pair of dried fruits are shown in the background. - Taste: 87/100 points
spicy, oak, fruity, floral notes, again the straw, meadow, honey - Finish: 86/100 points
here the aromas from the palate are reflected in particular, but in a somewhat weaker form.
