Remarks:
delicious malt, but I find the 16 year old DE a bit better. Still complex and recommendable
Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points
- Nose: 87/100 points
a lot of smoke, campfire, some smoked ham, fruits, quickly changing to maritime notes with seaweed, slightly sweet, smell of the ocean. Later getting a little weaker - Taste: 89/100 points
Smoke and sweetness here too, spicy, a bit malty, here too maritime notes, oak comes out a little, becoming salty, a little ash taste - Finish: 87/100 points
Smoky sweet, a bit malty nutty, spicy with oak, very slightly salty. Medium length.
