Remarks:
Notes of a blind tasting:

very multilayered and very complex in the nose and on the palate. In the finish I find it a bit too sour.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 92/100 points
    spicy oak, fruity, leather, some citrus fruits, slightly hot, berries, honey, some caramel comes after a while, slightly malty, floral notes, very complex

  • Taste: 90/100 points
    Strongly fruity start, now there are dried fruits, raisins, the berries again, citrus fruits, honey, leather, spicy oak, slightly acidic

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    Strongly fruity, slightly malty, the sourness is more pronounced here.
