Taster

Nose: Dry. Burnt toast crumbs then some crème brûlée notes followed by orange and baked fruits. Sweet with some nutmeg. Water turns it into a spice cupboard fairly exotic with pot pourri. Dry.

Palate: Sandalwood, incense. Very perfumed in a slightly oily fashion shifting to light leather bruised peach green walnut. Good presence.

Finish: Long, fruity.

Comment: Real weight and character.

Score: 8

Nose: Intense. Lovely fragrances of freshly baked pastries. Very fruity. Apple cake. Sweet cider. Fresh hazelnuts. Coconut sherbet.

Palate: Almost syrupy. Lively and fresh. In total harmony with the nose. Fruit, fruit, fruit...

Finish: Drying out on ginger and cinnamon.

Comment: A rich aromatic profile and a soft texture give that whisky a sensuous feel. The perfect afterdinner dram to enjoy a moment of calm and of solitude maybe...

Score: 8.8
