Remarks:
very tasty malt that is quite citrus-heavy. The smoke and alcohol is pretty well integrated. Delicious

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    fruity smoke, ash, light fruits, slightly citrus in the background and slightly sweet. Very light maritime notes in the background. Alcohol is very well integrated.

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    very citrus-fruity, spicy, slightly sweet, pepper comes through. Quite hot, lots of light fruits, a little caramel. Maritime notes in the background.

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    Smoky maritime, lots of citrus fruits, slightly sweet with light fruits. Getting slightly bitter at the end.
