  1. FritzeKrautman scored this whisky 88 points Connoisseur

    A really nice, fruity malt that comes across as fresh and youthful despite its 17 years of age. If the finish had been a little longer, it would have made it into my top selection of the year.
    • Nose
      89 89
      Briefly solvent, then citrus, pepper, pineapple. Vanilla, cooling mint and nut chocolate. Over time, toasted bread, herbs and a hint of sulfur.
    • Taste
      87 87
      Sweet start, then quickly becomes spicy. Apples, honey and malt. Again briefly citrus fruit. The alcohol is pretty well integrated.
    • Finish
      87 87
      Blackberries, passion fruit, oak with a bit of bitterness. Unfortunately, the finish is a bit too short.
