Notes & Reviews

D3US gave this whisky 77 points
Color
Amber
Nose
Rich in honey sweetness and lesser vanilla notes. Some oak and soft spice also there. Smoke isn't evident to me.
Taste
More spice than expected at first, but then the sweetness comes rushing in. Honey again, with vanilla and some modest fruit. Quite some malt/barley now as well, adding to the mellow and sweet edged style of this whisky.
Finish
Very malty and there's a bitter note in the background. Vanilla and honey sweetness still have the upper hand, though.
Comments
A smooth, mellow malt. Decent enough for a dram or two.

Taste
clear honey, vanilla, fruity, but not the dark ones
Finish
Short, like an aperetif, bitter notes from the oak.
Comments
In short.... Disappointing

Vůně je lehčí,mírná, čistá sladová, ovocitá, s troškou skořice a medu,
ale i na mě, ktery tyhle lehké moc nemusí, docela v pohodě.
Taste
V chuti mě překvapila, jak dokáze byt ostrá a intenzivní, sladce kořenitá.
Finish
Se středním dozvukem bez špetky něčeho rušivého nebo snad hořkého.
Comments
Solidní pohodová whisky.

Nose
Orange cream chocolates, natural caramel, rice cakes, hint of smoke, honey.
Taste
Burnt orange and honey, very intense and spicy.
Finish
Long, spicy, oranges and cloves. A bit drying.
Comments
Excellent, tasty dram.
It's better to have drunk it all than never to have drunk at all.

Fruity - that's it really. Some vanilla too
Taste
Smooth and sweet. Vanilla cream. Unremarkable but pleasant and has grown on me over the last few days
Finish
Slight oak, but the fruit returns with cream poured over. Nice finish - the best part of it in fact

Color
Pale straw
Nose
Fruit and citrus notes, something fresh, lemon, oak, a little bit of dryness and hints of intensive alcohol.
Taste
It starts with strong freshness, sourness, fruit and citrus notes and honey. Very strong influence of lime and grapefruit, smoothness and light sweetness. Later on there is dryness with notes of brandy.
Finish
Relatively short and not very pleasant.

Color
Deep copper
Nose
Mittlere Malzigkeit, recht suess im ersten Antritt, mild und gut ausgewogen, etwas Honig und auch Vanille, ebenso eine leichte Wuerze. Vielleicht etwas flach in den Nasenfluegeln ansonsten aber recht gefaellig.
Taste
Fuer 43% erfreulich kraeftig, auch wenn das gleich die Frage aufwirft, wie prima dann 3% mehr erst waeren!? Angenehm weich von der Konsistenz, weniger suess als noch in der Nase, Tendenz hier mehr Richtung Highland Malt.
Finish
Gerade noch als mittellang zu bezeichnen mit recht deutlichen Holzaromen.
Comments
Ein grundsolider "Einsteiger", der sich nicht zu verstecken braucht. Sein Geld ist er wert, viel mehr jedoch auch nicht.
