Remarks:
wonderful malt. Surprised me positively after all the distillery bottlings I had disappointed me so far. Very fruity, spicy profile. Very tasty and easy to drink.

Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points

  • Nose: 88/100 points
    strongly fruity onset with a slight sweetness, citrus fruits, spicy oak notes, somewhat malty, dried fruits, plums, raisins, very fresh, herbs

  • Taste: 88/100 points
    nice fruity sweet start. lots of dark fruits, spicy oak notes, very nice mouthfeel, light pepper, slightly creamy towards the end

  • Finish: 88/100 points
    Citrus fruits and spicy, followed by oak and dark fruits, which linger on the palate for a long time. Very tasty and long lasting
