Seeing that this bottle has been gathering dust in my cellar for ages (wel, sorta), my expectations were quite low. Hence they were exceeded with flying colors. This is a lovely, summery whisky.

No OBE at all, which is good news. In fact, this is very fresh and lively on the nose. I get all kinds of tropical fruits like pineapple, melon, peach on syrup and juicy pears. What a pleasant surprise. Add some honey and vanilla, as well as a touch of eucalyptus. Fresh and summery nose. Fun!

It is somewhat oily and honey-sweet. Good acidity. The tropical fruit is joined by loads of citrus. The spiciness becomes louder as the wood rears its head. Midpalate it becomes a bit dry on ginger.
-
In the finish – between short and medium long – the fruit seems to go down a caramelized path. It dies a mildly bitter death.
