A very nice bourbon barrel whisky, as they have to be.

Nose

A mix of apricots, mango, banana and juice oranges, followed by lots of malt and a little vanilla, the whole has a slightly sour touch, with time, the oak spice is stronger, water mixes the yellow fruits even more and brings the vanilla further forward

Taste

Also slightly acidic, sparkling with a little spice and effervescent powder, yellow fruit, vanilla, quite noticeable bitterness at the end, water takes the liveliness a bit and brings some creaminess

Finish

Pleasant oak and vanilla are in the foreground, behind the yellow fruits are still a bit wide before the end still leaves a nice slightly bitter heat

So blind, I would probably have estimated it a few years younger. Looks pretty young and not so elegant. The fruits are rather light and fresh. The oak is there, but does not look so delicate. Not a bad whisky in itself. Again, I do not need it in the glass.

For me THE pear whisky. Crisp pear musts and delicious. An ideal companion for the summer!
