Nose

Prickly at first nose. Better let it settle a minute. Malty and fruity. Dried apricots and prunes soaked in a vanilla syrup. Almond cake. A hint of cherries. Gets creamier on time. Touch of ginger.

Palate

Sweet and smooth with a raw silk texture. Slightly tangy on the tongue but less than expected. Fruity and biscuity. Pear and apple flan. Water brings out some bitter notes.

Finish

Dry and spicy.

Comment

Interesting whisky but the high ABV requires some precautions. Time, a dash of water and you have an energetic and talkative dram!
