Remarks:
Nose and palate are completely different. Wouldn’t have thought he was so young. Only in the finish I find it is too bitter and dry.

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 87/100 points
    Smoky, smoked ham, dark fruits, lots of herbs, spicy, a little pepper, later becoming sweet

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    dark fruits, plums, raisins, sweet and creamy, chocolate, later a bit spicy, herbs and smoke only very slightly in the background

  • Finish: 84/100 points
    spicy with lots of herbs, slightly sweet and fruity. Getting dry and bitter quickly. Some smoke comes through.
