Remarks:
very soft malt, easy drinking. Of the 3 Virgin Oak bottlings I’ve tried, I think that’s the best

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    spicy, herbs, a little honey, oak, then vanilla, fruits. Peach, alcohol is easily present, sweet, chocolate

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    spicy, sweet, fruity, peach, honey, vanilla, oak, spices, some chocolate and a little pepper

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    rather short and not very strong. Sweet chocolate, vanilla, honey, a bit fruity.
