  1. larswehmeier scored this whisky 92 points Connoisseur

    A masterpiece!

    The extremely long maturation period gives this whisky a very full body and a lot of structure with a beguiling sweetness at the same time. The creamy consistency is characterized by the oak tannins, which never turn tart or bitter.

    A big movie theater!
    • Nose
      Incredibly sweet and creamy on the nose. beeswax. acacia honey. A lot of vanilla. Overripe mango. cream toffee.
    • Taste
      The beeswax is also there immediately. In addition, a creamy consistency thanks to perfectly integrated oak tannins. Light fruity. Nutmeg.
      Complex and beguiling.
    • Finish
      Long and warming. Becomes spicy but never tart.

    • Nose

      Green apples right at the beginning, custard on toast. Then sugar apples, ripe pineapples, and carabao mango all emerged right away, bright and straightforward. A hint of sour fruit brought me to starfruits, green grape skin, yellow pomelo as well as some greengages. After a short wave of vanilla biscuit, white pepper accompanied with hay and wax. The expectation was met for a Fino butt matured 1973, but it could not score higher because of the low endurance.
    • Taste
      91 91
      Honey poached pear, then peach was added later. The flavour became richer in just a few seconds with additional melon and yellow plum. Kept chewing, you'd discover sprinkling white pepper, starfruits, some gooseberries and vanilla. A bit of tree oil, resin, and green tea leaves.
    • Finish
      88 88
      Still fruity, peach, green grape skin, Asian pear with peel, green tea with a tiny bit of Sichuan peppercorns and bitterness.

    • Taste
      89 89
      Complex. Different sugars, wine gums, sweet. Chew it for a minute, you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately, it can't keep up with the nose.
    • Finish
      88 88
      Very long, sweet and ethereal.

    Nose- intense and very delicate at the same time, bananas, honey, maltiness, top-class vanilla, a cellar smell emerges. Peaches, oranges and lemon peel appear,
