Remarks:
Wonderful malt. Very complex profile. Round and voluminous. Delicious!

Overall I rate this Whisky 91/100 points

  • Nose: 91/100 points
    Dried fruits, raisins, peach, citrus fruits, wax, oranges, tobacco, spicy oak notes. Vanilla and caramel come in the background. Nuts come out with hand warmth. Furniture polish, prunes, dried dates. Very complex.

  • Taste: 91/100 points
    very fruity with intense dark fruits, dried fruits, tobacco, leather, old oak furniture, slightly bitter and sour. Then comes honey, wax, becoming oily.

  • Finish: 90/100 points
    great intense finish with lots of sherry notes. Also very complex here.
