Remarks:
The nose and taste are very soft, sweet and fruity. The finish, on the other hand, is quite bitter and dry. Doesn’t match the rest of the flavor profile at all.

Overall I rate this Whisky 85/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    very light maritime smoke which evaporates very quickly, dried fruits, herbs, very fresh aromas, light citrus fruits, honey, berries, very soft.

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    lots of dark fruits, berries, dried fruits, caramel, honey, very soft and round, becoming slightly creamy, becoming slightly bitter much later.

  • Finish: 82/100 points
    very soft and a bit bitter as well as dry, here the Bordeaux finish comes out in the dry version. Lots of fruits, very light citrus fruits
