Remarks:
quite ok and easy drinking I would say. However, I would not have guessed a GF in a blind tasting. Doesn’t remind you of a GF.

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    First, a little alcohol rises in the nose, then there are dried fruits, vanilla, nuts, a hint of chocolate that quickly disappears.

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    fruity, somewhat tart spicy, oak, a little vanilla, dried fruits, then becoming slightly malty before it becomes dry and slightly spicy

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    Strong finish, very spicy and slightly fruity, sweet, tart oak notes at the end. Warming. Becomes slightly dry and bitter.
