Taster
Nose: Light, restrained. Barleysugar. Cream soda. Floral and biscuity.
Palate: A thick syrupy feel, getting thinner in time. Like touching a velvety satin. The same malty and fruity profile as on the nose. Enticing and fresh. With a spicy kick on the tongue.
Finish: Medium, drying on dusty spices while keeping sweet.
Comment: A charming “whispering” whisky. Perfect to greet springtime. Needs a few drops of water to sooth down the alcohol bite.
Score: 7.8

Finish: Sweet with spices.

Score: 8
