  1. MrDvorak scored this whisky 85 points Expert Junior

    RATING: 85pts – |83 – 86 (B) → Good| — Not a “must”, but a nice-to-have.
    • Nose
      86 86
      The nose has an influence of both casks with notes of burnt sugar, raisins, toffee, cinnamon and chocolate.
    • Taste
      85 85
      The taste is spicy and intense with a profile of nice sherriness and notes of chocolate, figs, peppery wood and caramel.
    • Finish
      85 85
      The finish is medium lenght, spicy and neat with hints of chocolate, raisins, citrus fruits and apple jam.

  4. Myke scored this whisky 77 points Expert Senior

    (Disclaimer: is my first whisky on the day for tasting - I have to test it again)
    light fruits on the nose, but does not look like a 15-year-old, more like a boisterous 8-year-old;
    which is not bad as such, but you expect even more sedate aromas at 15 years of age.
    Nothing new in the taste, fruit, malt, slight bitterness. Then it's gone very quickly,
    [77 - 75 = above average -> goes like this]
    • Nose
      78 78
      fresh light fruits, apricots, (still unripe) pears, citrus-sour nuances that are reminiscent of lychee;
      grassy aroma, vanilla and a little honey.
      Light spice far in the background.
      Over time, the icing sugar sweetness decreases somewhat, but a beer-yeast-malt aroma comes through quite strongly; I personally find it somehow out of place for a 15.
    • Taste
      77 77
      very soft start, very light spice, light fruits. Peppery spice presses on the tongue, it becomes slightly tart at the back, but is more of a malt-tart note than dark chocolate moments.
      Becoming / staying malty.
      Second sip: sweeter, fruity, a little more vanilla, still very soft, slightly viscous / creamy. It then loses from 2/3 in the mouth and the fruits no longer harmonize so well.
      Overall quite spicy on the palate ...
      Third sip: sweet, spicy, vanilla, fruit, malt note; with imagination also toffee / caramel.
    • Finish
      75 75
      some spice, slightly tart notes, malty, fruit aromas fade away.
      The alcohol is still burning down the throat.

  8. Highlander65 scored this whisky 77 points Expert Senior

    Definitely better than 10yo, "darker" and more demanding. Not memorable but good
    • Nose
      Fuller and more rounded than 10yo, scent of sherry, ripe berries, light citrus note, coconut? A touch of wood, trifle
    • Taste
      Light body (less than 10yo), sweet without exaggerating, dark fruit, creamy cake, bitter almond note
    • Finish
      Long enough, sweet, brown sugar

  9. Wolv scored this whisky 82 points Expert Senior

    • Nose
      82 82
      pine wood, orange, honey, cinnamon, gorse, biscuit, vanilla, citrus, toffee, butterscotch

  10. Sandman scored this whisky 80 points Connoisseur

    Time and a drop of water make this whisky good.
    • Nose
      Raisins, chocolate, stewed apple, orange, lemon, grass, nuts, breakfast cereals, a hint of red wine, mango and pineapple.
    • Taste
      Currants, chocolate, nutmeg, toasted bread, breakfast cereals, nuts, tolerated grass and with water lemon zest, tropical fruit and baked apple.
    • Finish
      Short to medium, dry, nuts, lemon zest, currants, dark chocolate, hint of grapefruit, mix of tropical fruit and baked apple.
