color: dark gold
nose: fruit explosion, crazy and wonderful, peach in the first place, mango, apricot, peach jam, green apple in the finish
taste: waxy, oily, still fruit, a more citrusy side of citron and candied orange emerges, still peach, medlars, honey
final: initially passito, then almost salty, like white wine, still cedar
with water: sweeter on the nose, less fruity and more, hints of vanilla, on the palate more wax, more oily, malt emerges on the fruity side
Huge whisky, an explosion of fruit, honestly one of the best and most particular ever tasted.

This Whisky was sold for 755€ at Whisky Auction (September 2017).

The nose starts on a sublime fruitiness, both garden fruit - I think of apples and gooseberries - as tropical fruit: passion fruit, mango and pineapple, and also pink grapefruit, with a little granulated sugar. Succulent! He continues on honey, heather, rosehip, hay and oak. Soft oak that gives the already beautiful whole extra character, extra punch. Taste. The whisky does not stay well on the tongue, but immediately explores all corners of the mouth. It is powerful, creamy and immediately full-blown tropical. Melon in particular, papaya and also some passion fruit. We have the pink grapefruit again. Like the soft oak of the nose, candy and a subtle spiciness. Big! Long, delicious aftertaste where the tropical fruit of no neighborhoods wants to know. Impressive. Really impressive. 95/100 http://onversneden.com/2011/06/01/benriach-35y-1975-asta-morris/
