  1. PaulDvorak scored this whisky 84 points Expert Junior

    Very nice, drinkable and tender jam-apricot malt. But the finish line somewhere completely failed, as if there is none. The rest is good.
    • Nose
      Sweet apricot jam, candied peaches, orange liquor, fresh dried apricots, fruit lollipops, delicate pastries with cream, caramel.
    • Taste
      Sweet, fruity, very tender and pleasant, dessert. Toast with butter and apricot jam, orange jam, sweets.
    • Finish
      Short, completely empty for sixteen, not complex, where did he go at all. Dried fruits in sugar, honey, apricots, wood, caramel.

  2. Vince scored this whisky 81 points Expert Senior

    No real flaws, but it tries really hard not to get noticed. Maybe the low ABV? Honey, vanilla, a bit of biscuits; short finish.

    Oooch, well, a simple Speysiderprofil with roses on top. Not bad, but nothing special.
    • Nose

      a lot of orange juice, apple juice, some licorice, rose petals, lemon, ginger, some cinnamon, honey, Toblerone, some mint, more honey, more roses, sponge cake
    • Taste
      82 82
      Pepper, dark chocolate, coffee, rose petal black tea, lemons, licorice, vanilla, some honey, some orange juice, grapefruit, roasted nuts, coffee cream
    • Finish
      81 81
      almost medium long, with roasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate, coffee, coffee cream, a touch of mint, lemon, grapefruit ... again the rose petals and at the very end the orange appears again

  10. diamond2000 scored this whisky 84 points Expert Junior

    Aroma: dried fruits, honey, autumn leaves, coffee latte, lemonade "dyushes", tobacco leaf, toffee, milk chocolate, fresh mint, some flowers, roasted walnuts, a little perfume.
    Taste: cotton candy, coffee with milk, nuts (walnut, wood, cashew), a little honey and oak.
    Finish: a bit short, lollipops, honey, oak tannins, bitterness, very gentle, almost airy.
    Rating: 84
    The result: a very pleasant aroma and taste, but the finish on their background is very lightweight, it is sad, the commercial fortress sometimes spoils the whisky. In general, a good, understandable, no sharp corners molt, corresponding to its stated age.
