Remarks:
nice dram to sip on the side. Not more but also not less.
It couldn’t convince me.
Overall I rate this Whisky 85/100 points
- Nose: 84/100 points
Lemon floating in a glass of alcohol…..
was that it???
Even blowing into the glass doesn’t really help….
Well, I’ll give the dram a little more time in the glass and come back later.
Oh look! A small honeycomb comes flying by with a few small fruits sitting on it. - Taste: 86/100 points
well here it looks a bit different than in the nose.
It is creamy, with citrus fruits and a light note of vanilla, later becoming a bit tart. leather cloth rubbed in herbs. Then fruit acid shows up - Finish: 84/100 points
hey that was short!…………
some citrus fruits and vanilla……….
with the second sip there was a brief herbal note.
