Remarks:
Good palatable malt. There is definitely potential to dilute, but you don’t necessarily have to. Quite tasty.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 87/100 points
    sweetish, slightly greasy smoke, campfire, smells slightly dirty, slightly fruity, alcohol is well integrated, slightly salty and spicy. Herbs.

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    smoky fruity start, spicy, later a bit hot and peppery, becoming a bit salty and oily towards the end.

  • Finish: 87/100 points
    fruity, smoky, a bit bitter and salty, medium length, becoming a bit leathery towards the end
