Color

Pale gold

Nose

The nose starts rather grainy. Petit Beurre-cookies. Vanilla. The sweetness translates further into young, green apples and loads of citrus fruit. Some lemongrass too. With effort I even get some pineapple cubes and white chocolate, but little else. Not bad, but rather ordinary. Adding water brings out a mineral side. Beach of rocks. Now where did that association come from?

Taste

It is pretty creamy on the palate, but immediately very peppery and drying (oak!). The second sip brings out the citrus fruit and quite some honey serves as a much needed softener of the palate. Again the young grass. Reminds me of spring. With a spoon of water, it becomes a lot sweeter. It can do with that, actually.

Finish

The finish is fairly long in which the citrusfruit takes top honours.

Comments

This whisky seems younger than its 18 years. A little nervous, I would say. Better with water.

Color

White wine

Nose

Grassy and spirity. Lots of citrus fruit, but also green apples.

Taste

Fresh and waxy. Warm oily mouthfeel. Quite strong. With water more roundness. Honey and oak. Later on more spice.

Finish

Long and dry. Becomes very salty as well.

Comments

 A little bit too spirity for me. Needs water.
