Remarks:
a really good fruity malt. I find it more pleasing in taste and finish than in the nose. Very tasty and very complex fruit aromas

Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points

  • Nose: 87/100 points
    Very fruity with a little sweet pear, apple, vanilla, very soft nose, some citrus and light wood notes, the alcohol is very well integrated and cannot be perceived. Very fruity nose

  • Taste: 88/100 points
    sweet fruits with vanilla, pear, fruit compote, spicy wood notes, a little honey, pineapple in the background. Creamy and a little oily

  • Finish: 88/100 points
    again a lot of fruit, a bit tart, citrus and oak, very tasty, warming
