Remarks:
The nose is a bit disappointing compared to the palate and finish.
I had hoped for more.
It’s definitely not bad in taste though.
I like this profile.
Overall I rate this Whisky 85/100 points
- Nose: 83/100 points
Typical grain nose at the beginning. Pepper, oak, slightly fruity but the spiciness prevails. - Taste: 87/100 points
dark fruits, oak, sherry flavors, sweet. Then comes a lot of fruit acid, leather, very strong and spicy, grain. - Finish: 86/100 points
Strong and sweet with caramel and vanilla, cereal.
Then spicy and slightly sour bitter.
