Remarks:
Notes from a blind tasting

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 45/100 points
    slightly hot, citrus fruits, slightly smoky maritime, sweet, vanilla

  • Taste: 50/100 points
    Powerful at the start, maritime smoke, citrus fruits, sweet, then pepper, then swinging back to vanilla and caramel

  • Finish: 25/100 points
    Intensely spicy, smoky with just a hint of ash adding to the maritime notes. Here it also appears sweeter than on the palate, slightly bitter at the end.
