10 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 86.07 points

  1. FritzeKrautman scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    It is a reasonably matured 18-year-old whisky, which, however, can hardly stand out from the mass of comparable bottlings from other distilleries. In addition, a higher alcohol strength would suit him well.
    I would think 60 euros for a bottle is appropriate.
    Not more.
    • Nose
      In the beginning garden herbs, vanilla, oak and cooling alcohol. Overall behave. Over time it opens up more with apricot and peach, becoming even more acidic later and soy sauce.
    • Taste
      Initially very fruity (dark fruits), then quickly spices and oak. Quite soft. You can hardly feel the alcohol
    • Finish
      Medium length finish with some bitterness and oak. Astringent.

    Sweet, dried fruits, matchbox, citrus. wood, perfume, leather, apple jam and fruits notes on nose. Sweet, smooth, perfume, fruits, vanilla, spices and wood notes on palate. Long finish with spices, fruits, pepper, vanilla, apples and matchbox notes. It’s a good balanced and smooth whisky.

  5. Andytka3 scored this whisky 88 points Connoisseur

    N- Stout-y, already nice. Sherry come fore with dried fruits of prunes and figs. Oiliness seems striped down and appeared with good lightness and fresh. Custard, clotted cream and cake-y dessert. Heather honey nougat, pecan nuts and pleasantly sweets. Hint savoury and lightly smokes as well...somehow, but in a good way and delicious as always. (91/22)

    P- Elegantly fruity, excellent semi-light and clean texture, fruitiness and zesty come thru effortlessly with orange-y. (88/22)

    F- Medium long, dry, clean and oak spicy remains. Absolutely nutty, hint leathery, mixed peppercorn with dried fruits. (89/22)
