Remarks:
An excellent whisky.
Very layered and complex.
Had the sample breathe for several hours

Overall I rate this Whisky 93/100 points

  • Nose: 93/100 points
    Floral notes, light fruits, spicy oak, vanilla, herbs, leather, old wooden furniture, some malt and nuts, hay, light berries.
    Great multi-layered nose

  • Taste: 93/100 points
    Lots of light fruit, vanilla, oak, floral notes, light berries, slightly spiciness with ginger, hay, some caramel, leather, light fruit acidity. Towards the end, the leather and oak become more intense. Getting oily and creamy.

  • Finish: 93/100 points
    beautiful complex finish with a slight sweetness, lots of fruit, nuts and herbs. At the end the fruit acid comes through and the leather and oak show up again
