alectron gave this whisky 88 points

Color

Gin clear

Nose

old/dusty red wood +/o, bread dough o, black leather & a bit of shoepolish o, brine o, menthol o/-, chocolate o/-, thyme o/-, (89)

Later: much more vanilla, vanilla pudding even with a burnt corner (touch of smoke), most of the savoury notes from before are gone/overpowered now after only 15+ minutes... (89)

Taste

sweet malt +, then a hit of lots of fruit esters at once, much sweeter suddenly & quite artificial, multi fruit drops (84)

Finish

a slight tail of the fruit esters, then drifting into complex vanilla, white chocolate & wood . Afterwards some more fruits, quite faint underneath the vanilla & wood but more realistic than in the palate (pears, peaches & apples) (92)

Comments

 

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...
