Remarks:
beautiful malt with which I like the palate and especially the beginning of the finish very much.
Very citrus and rather subtle smoky.

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 85/100 points
    fresh, lots of citrus fruits, very light smoke, light maritime notes. After a long time, the smoke becomes more intense and peaty

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    It could be smoked fish, citrus fruits, light pepper, sweet, very light chocolate, maritime notes here too. Slightly bitter later

  • Finish: 87/100 points
    nice aromatic finish, sweet and only slightly smoky, flowery and fruity. Getting a bit bitter towards the end
