Remarks:
wonderful malt, I like it very much. Very complex and balanced. It houses a great variety of flavors. Delicious!

Overall I rate this Whisky 92/100 points

  • Nose: 92/100 points
    Nice aromatic note, furniture polish, old wood, dried fruits, later changing into sweet citrus-fruity aromas, then again the sherry notes, raisins, plums, slightly sweet and spicy, very soft and harmonious, hazelnuts and a little vanilla and honey come a lot later

  • Taste: 92/100 points
    soft, creamy start, very fruity with peach and plums, honey, raisins, becoming slightly spicy, old wood comes, again with a slight hint of furniture polish, becoming oily and again the hazelnuts on the nose, very aromatic

  • Finish: 92/100 points
    nice spicy fruity finish, transitioning into sweetness and slightly bitter, a true basket of fruit reveals itself, becoming slightly sweet at the end. Great mouthfeel remains
