Remarks:
we don’t become friends.
The alcohol is not well integrated and stings extremely in the nose, and the alcohol content also hits the palate. Even with water it is still very penetrating in the nose. It then takes a back seat on the palate, but without increasing complexity. With water only a little more pleasant in the finish.
I think the 10yo is worlds better.
Overall I rate this Whisky 81/100 points
- Nose: 80/100 points
Slightly smoky and salty, alcohol stings a bit on the nose, citrus fruits, not particularly complex. very slightly sweet and fruity - Taste: 81/100 points
light smoke, bitter citrus-fruity, then a little bit oily with malt becomes spicy. Alcoholic burn remains. - Finish: 83/100 points
Malty, nutty and sweet with a light smoke. Palate is still numb from alcohol.
becoming sweet. quite long.
83 points in the finish only because of the nicer flavors when diluted with water.
