nice malt, but appears younger in profile.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    Oak, apples, light pear, a pineapple comes very lightly in the background. Slightly leathery bitter. With hand warmth come herbs as well as light caramel and vanilla. appears quite young
