  1. thijs100 scored this whisky 90 points Connoisseur

    Another winning pick by the WhiskyNerds. Now I wonder what happened to the rest of the cask?
    • Nose
      One for the purists. This is about the spirit, not the cask. A hint of banana peel, some soft lemon yoghurt, tinned pineapple and a creamy waxiness. It has a faint mineral quality too. Finally a tinge of sweet barley water.
    • Taste
      Super waxy and creamy and pretty concentrated. There are bright yellow and green fruits, but also ginger and cracked peppercorns. Soft minerals and just a pinch of salt too. This is what happens when you don't upset good spirit with overzealous wood.
    • Finish
      The fruit returns after a little while, while the waxiness is the gift that keeps on giving.
