Remarks:
Notes from a blind tasting
Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points
- Nose: 89/100 points
maritime fruity smoke, dark fruits and grapes. Otherwise rather reserved. I’ll give him more time.
Later come light sweet notes and a few herbs and cloves - Taste: 88/100 points
fruity, smoky onset, maritime smoke, dark fruits, slightly bitter, then becoming slightly sweet - Finish: 88/100 points
lots of herbs and cloves paired with smoke. The dark fruits are back too.
