Remarks:
This is a wonderful and extremely complex malt. The barrel has almost no influence on the taste and it would be difficult to estimate 29 years in blind. A really successful fruity whisky

Overall I rate this Whisky 93/100 points

  • Nose: 93/100 points
    a real fruit basket with bright fruits. Peach, apricot and orange, apple, slightly pear (I usually don’t really like pear, but I like it very much here), slightly sweet, wonderfully soft nose, very pleasant

  • Taste: 93/100 points
    very fruity, lots of light fruits and slightly sweet, apricots, kiwi, Mirabelle plums, mandarins, the pear is back too, honey and a little vanilla appear, but the fruits dominate, very slightly spicy and in the background some herbs and hay.

  • Finish: 93/100 points
    Wonderfully soft fruity finish, slightly sweet, slightly nutty in the background, but the fruit basket with the light fruits clearly has the upper hand, a little spice comes, the fruits stay in the mouth for a long time.
