Remarks:
a nice whisky. In my opinion, it takes a lot of time in the glass to open. I had the first sip after about 30 minutes and the last one after an hour.

Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points

  • Nose: 88/100 points
    light fruits, apples but also a hint of tangerines. Oak, honey, some leather, a hint of mango, some malt. Vanilla and – I would say – cookie dough.

  • Taste: 88/100 points
    a lot of vanilla, oak, fruits but this time more the tropical ones. The apple is almost gone, creamy and again the dough. slightly bitter and peppery at the end

  • Finish: 88/100 points
    at first the creamy and vanilla and then becomes more bitter. The oak is more intense here.
