Remarks:
nice smoky profile.
Seems a bit dirty, which is very coherent in the combination that this malt offers.

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

  • Nose: 91/100 points
    greasy smoke, dirty, dark fruits, smoked ham, subtly sweet which is later covered by a salty note

  • Taste: 90/100 points
    sweet Smoky, dark fruits, pepper, some smoked ham, salty

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    aromatic smoke, dark fruits, again the smoked ham and a slight dirty note. The salty is back too.
