Color

Pale gold

Nose

Starting with a salty and smoky smell that subtly blend into a sweet combination of vanilla, cocoa, kiwi, banana and pear biscuits.

Taste

A complex but balanced palate consisting include chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, fruit, smoke and spice. With an oil-like, and a reasonably smooth texture.

Finish

A very aromatic aftertaste, relatively dry, complements the flavors nicely

Color

Deep gold

Nose

A full nose of aromas. Warming, a bit sharp or peppery. Oak evident here, some nice fresh fruits, citrus. Vanilla adds sweetness and a slight sweet spicy note.

Taste

Tingly at first but sweet soon after that. Clear vanilla again, but also some honey at the back, adding serious sweetness. A spicy note adds some necessary bitterness and the oak keeps it light, despite the higher alcohol.

Finish

Medium at most. Drying on the tongue, some serious malt here now. Oak makes it slightly bitter, the fruit has made way for good now.

Comments

A good nose, a good taste, an average finish. Not a bad malt at all, but I've had better ones. Might be a bit sharp for some.

Color

Old gold

Nose

Závan kouře, vanilky, alkohol, při prvním ochutnání mi na ní trochu něco vadilo( náznak čistících prostředků), ale při druhém dopadla mnohem lépe.

Taste

Poměrně hutná, a to mám rád, o třídu vyše nez buket, dřevo,musli,s příjemnym nasládlym dozvukem.

Finish

Příjemny nasládly dozvuk.

Comments

Potenciál tam určitě je a docela rád bych zkusil nějakou starší a vyzrálejší whisky z této palírny.

Color

Deep gold

Nose

A bit salty. Vanilla, wood and malt. Also floral.

Taste

In spite of the 46% alcohol, very soft. Sweet like honey. A bit salty but also chocolate and banana.

Finish

A pleasant bitterness and also a little peppery. After that very sweet. Longlasting.

Comments

This is just a nice whisky in a perfect balance.

Bottlecode: 10.09.2008. 11:24 BB
Nose:
malty, barley sugar, vanilla, honey, (sour / sweet) green grapes, pears, a slight dusty-ness, (78)
Palate:
malt, grassy, a slightly sour note (grapes), some vanilla, a touch of honey, (80)
Finish:
more vanilla & honey now, a few woody spices, turns sweeter, also some sweet green grapes, (83)
Comment:
A bit simplistic & delicate, if you like the more delicate whiskies, this is a great standard with a nice balance between malt, wood, sour & sweet.

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...

If this is the basis for the different wood finishings, amazing the more negative quality of this little distillery. Bitter sweet, pungent dry. I found no pleasure in this bottling.
