A great whisky because of its taste, balanced quality and complexity, its price is perfect for this quality. A whisky that will make fans and professionals happy. If it had to be given a subjective rating, it would be a 90.

Nose

Gold dress, many tears, regular, fine and fast. It is concentrated on the nose, heady, a marinade of blackcurrant and cherry blossoms, orange blossom, acacia honey. A sweet and surprising sensation of red fruits, acid raspberry. Violet and anise, but also white flesh fruit like pear.Mineral and peppery, a little salty side.

Taste

The palate is sweet and concentrated on pear, acacia honey and white flowers, violet and a lactic impression of pear yoghurt. It's tender, sweet and salty, camphor, cocoa, wet rock and zan on the finish.

Finish

The finish is moderately long, earthy and mineral.

I´m a sucker for these simple, straightforward clynelishes and could have them every day.
don´ get me wrong, this is not a big whisky. it only satisfies my personal taste perfectly.
89/100

Nose

I think I could review this by heart, cause I have had so much of that stuff.
lemons, apples , pears, beeswax, wet beach sand, whiffs of smoke. light malt and caramel, slightly gingery

Taste

wonderful: coastal and mineral, just the right amount of wax and honey, very little fudge and a hint of a hint of peat smoke. vanilla.

Finish

medium, clean,

Dress: caramel Nose: not very expressive and difficult to decipher. It's round and fruity, some notes a little buttered and a background more mineral. Palate: creamy and warm, a greedy texture with fruit. Final: light smoke, a little drier.
Comment: a whisky quite complex and difficult to access when we start.

Not exciting, but I have never felt so comfortable and fitting

Nose

Gentle mild with clear oak notes. Dry fruity after unripe apricots, gooseberry and baked quince

Nice summer dram for little money.

Nose

Very light and sweet, honey, wax, some straw.

Taste

Sweet on honey and malt, there is also butter, apricots and a bunch of spices. Quite mellow though.

Finish

Medium long with spicy sweetness.

Quite a pleasant whisky, but when it has matured on South African Sherry butts then it's a different story, more exotic flavors.

Nose

Floral, sweet and candle wax (reduced: more peatsmoke emerge still some sweety and floral notes)

Taste

Maritime influences, smoky flavors with spicy and sweet notes (reduced: much softer and all the flavors from the unreduced situation seems to be lighter and even weaken)

Finish

Dry start, briny with a light sweet melange of spices
