Remarks:
a really great malt. It looks much older than 19 years, I really like it.

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

  • Nose: 90/100 points
    a lot of old wood, furniture polish, dark dried fruits, spicy, tobacco, old leather, herbs, some citrus fruits in the background, nice and pleasant

  • Taste: 90/100 points
    the aromas from the nose continue here, too, spicy, leather, old wood and furniture polish, some tobacco

  • Finish: 90/100 points
    spicy finish, then becoming dark fruity, later a bit dry and a bit bitter, but not unpleasant
