Remarks:
the whisky takes a long time in the glass to open.
I liked it better after more than an hour in the glass. Before that I didn’t think it was that good and would have given it a maximum of 82 points, because the nose was mostly wet cardboard at the time, it was irrelevant on the palate and it was only more intense and a little more pleasant on the finish.
So my recommendation is to give the malt a lot of time so that you can fully enjoy it.
Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points
