Remarks:
really great malt. A wonderful nose and a really tasty aromatic finish. The palate doesn’t quite fit into the picture. Otherwise easily a 90+
Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points
- Nose: 91/100 points
dark fruits enveloped in a fine smoke, nice sherry aromas, dried fruits, plums, raisins, the alcohol is imperceptible, orange peel, a bit spicy oak, light forest honey note, some chocolate in the background, later slightly ashy, great nose - Taste: 87/100 points
smoky, some ash, used charcoal, dried fruits, dark berries, getting a bit sour, orange peel also here, later a little bit of chocolate in the background, then getting rather dry - Finish: 90/100 points
Smoky finish with a nice aromatic and dark fruity touch, very pleasant and stimulates saliva. Quite a long and warming finish. Spicy at the end
