Remarks:
nice dram to sip on the side. Not more but also not less.
It couldn’t convince me.

Overall I rate this Whisky 85/100 points

  • Nose: 84/100 points
    Lemon floating in a glass of alcohol…..
    was that it???
    Even blowing into the glass doesn’t really help….
    Well, I’ll give the dram a little more time in the glass and come back later.
    Oh look! A small honeycomb comes flying by with a few small fruits sitting on it.

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    well here it looks a bit different than in the nose.
    It is creamy, with citrus fruits and a light note of vanilla, later becoming a bit tart. leather cloth rubbed in herbs. Then fruit acid shows up

  • Finish: 84/100 points
    hey that was short!…………
    some citrus fruits and vanilla……….
    with the second sip there was a brief herbal note.
