Remarks:
very tasty and easy drinking. I also find it very soft and round despite the high alcohol content. It doesn’t need water.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 87/100 points
    Dark chocolate, caramel, somewhat sweet, dark fruits, raisins, the high alcohol content is hardly noticeable, light sherry notes, very round and soft

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    here too a chocolatey but also violent start. Caramel also comes from the dark fruits. Slightly minty

  • Finish: 87/100 points
    long finish, I taste sherry and again the chocolate notes as well as the caramel. Dried fruit and light honey come at the end
