Remarks:
All in all, quite complex and balanced, I find the finish a bit short and so you can only enjoy the actually nice aromas in the finish for a short time. Still quite a nice malt

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    very fruity, apples, light pears, alcohol is present, spicy, some oak, hay and some herbs, slightly dirty wet grass, later some kiwi and honey

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    very sweet start, honey, vanilla, caramel, sweet light fruits, becoming oily and creamy, some pepper, herbs, some citrus fruits, very slightly salty in the background

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    sweet fruity finish, slightly spicy, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, some nuts, slightly bitter at the end, unfortunately rather short
