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.
