Remarks:
Notes of a blind tasting

very tasty malt. very multilayered and complex. really great flavors profile. Only in the finish does it weaken a bit

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

  • Nose: 92/100 points
    wow, nice aromatic nose, old wood, dark berries, honey, nuts, a little malt, sweetish, vanilla and caramel, later the wood aromas become a little more spicy, then there are creamy notes, chocolate, slightly musty at the end but not unpleasant Dusty bookshelf, then fading into slightly grainy floral notes. Very round and full.

  • Taste: 91/100 points
    full-bodied and round. The alcohol seems very well integrated. Dark fruits, berries, honey, sweet, caramel, vanilla, nuts, slightly spicy oak, old furniture, some leather, chocolate. Very complex.

  • Finish: 87/100 points
    very intense in the aromas, slight bitter touch which does not last long. More on the fruity side. Here the sweetness is holding back.
