Remarks:
wonderful malt. Very complex. Great flavor profile. It doesn’t need any water because the alcohol is wonderfully integrated and has a pleasant spiciness. I like it very much.
Overall I rate this Whisky 92/100 points
- Nose: 92/100 points
fruity sweet, spicy oak, slightly malty, light fruits, vanilla and slightly caramel. I have a touch of chocolate. Lightly tart, herbal notes - Taste: 92/100 points
A spicy start, a little pepper comes briefly, then there are intense fruit notes, beautiful oak notes, vanilla, caramel, and I have the chocolate again. Getting oily. - Finish: 92/100 points
Nutty, sweet, spicy, fruity in the finish. Nice oak notes that get a bit tart towards the end. Warming, a slight ginger sharpness shows up briefly.
