WhiskyNotes gave this whisky 90 points

Color

Pale straw

Nose

Elegant and fruity. Lots of sweet honey and juicy melon with mellow spices (mostly cinnamon). A bit of dusty, warm oak - works really well. Hints of tangerine, beeswax and pollen. The lightest whiff of smoke. Heather. A real treat with a lot of depth.

Taste

Notes of roasted grains. Quite some fruits again, but dried, candied fruits and sultanas this time. Kiwi. Hints of liquorice and vanilla. Gets surprisingly smokey with woody undertones and spices. Slightly tannic and salty.

Finish

Long and pretty complex. Oily, fruity and drying. Almonds and hints of leather.

Comments

This is an unusual Speysider (elegantly fruity but with hints of smoke), very dynamic despite the age. Obviously from two great casks.

Quaker gave this whisky 90 points

Color

Yellow gold

Nose

Très porté sur les fruits confits sur fond de cendre froide. Des senteurs florales viennent se mêler (géranium). Mangue. Un peu de sel. Il est très intense, ample et généreux. Cuir. Magnifique nez !

Taste

Elle suit parfaitement le nez, sur les fruits de la passion, du sel. Un peu en retrait au tout début, elle explose de suite sur une multitude de saveurs.

Finish

Longue et suit la bouche. Beurre salé, fruits. Herbacée.

Comments

Un très bel embouteillage.
