Remarks:
it’s perfectly alright. At first glance, the nose reminded me of a Caol Ila. Quite a pleasant smoker.
Overall I rate this Whisky 85/100 points
- Nose: 85/100 points
At first I thought of a Caol Ila, smoked ham, campfire, alcohol stings a bit, maritime notes, a bit salty and yet slightly sweet in the background. Citrus fruits come through. Port notes. - Taste: 85/100 points
Smoke, ash, then fruits, very slightly sweet in the background, some smoked bacon, some oak notes, getting hot, citrus fruits, herbs - Finish: 85/100 points
Sweet and spicy with dried fruits, smoky maritime notes, herb candy, medium to long
