A drunk too alcoholic opening but with time gives the best of itself. A nose and a really nice ending. On the palate there is this little something that clearly reduces his note and pleasure.

Nose

A very fruity nose, there is syrup to see fruit yoghurt. There is also flower honey and a pastry side on the biscuit or cake. A really nice nose.

Taste

At the opening a powerful hair. Over time, this power disappears little by little to arrive at a rather well integrated set. The mouth remains overall very dry all the same on the fruity and the bitterness of the green wood. There is also this vegetal side that I can not define clearly.

Finish

A medium-length finish on the wood and its spices. There is also a hint of vanilla and dark chocolate. Some remnants of fruit are coming back at times.

Very pleasant. Tasted blind. Enthusiasm 4/5 Whisky n ° 1613

Nose

A little in the style "irish" initially, it gains in depth: we are in Scotland. Duo wax / honey that is not unlike Clynelish, but with an elegance and a flowery side extremely pleasant.

Taste

Well fruity, rather velvety or sweet in the mouth, it is quite beefy in alcohol.

Finish

Persistent fruits and vanilla.

Nose

Heavy on Penang's white nutmeg water, as I always find it with Glenburgie. Fresh cut grass, and baked fruits. Feels very 'green' and tropical.

Taste

Malty arrival, and quite 'Glenburgie' I would say. Pleasant and easy going, with hints of grass and fruits.

Finish

Fresh and lively, mouth-watering. Orange peel and lemonade.

Very nice, strong and fruity whisky. I can imagine the comparisons with a Clynelish. Really a good and enjoyable.

Taste

Honey, hay, ripe red & yellow fruit, oak

Finish

Medium long, slightly bitter and slightly drying, Mandarin, wood, malty

This really was a lovely whisky and I enjoyed drinking it, especially because it was on my bucket list, but it was a little bit generic. There just wasn’t anything special to it that would really make me want to seek one out.

Reviewed in my blog:

Nose

Light wood. Pencil shavings. Citrus oils. Marmalade. Hay. Candied fruits. Nutmeg. Some green herbs.

Taste

Stronger than anticipated. Bit of a sharp bitterness at first and then juicy fruits,woody vanilla and a slight coppery taste, then a burst of woodspice.

Finish

Long. Woodspice continues, along with pears, bitter wood tannins and maybe some honey-lemon cough drops.

Proper stuff with a nice mouthfeel and decent fruitiness. The dryness keeps it from scoring even higher.

Nose

Quite creamy, but also slightly dusty, with oak and burlap, whilst also having a fresh and fruitier side. Stewed apples, sweet barley, pear skins.

Taste

Again, lovely creamy stuff, waxy. A fruity base of grape fruit and pears, accompanied by oak and ginger. Some other spices as well, like white pepper. Somewhat dry, bitter and chalky.

Finish

Medium to long, drying. Finally a tad grassy, with whispers of green fruit.

N- Malt extract, oil, malt barn, muddy with sort of white liquorice. Soft citrus vanilla from soft wood. As well chocolate, milo, whiff of candy in the back, green tea with more citrus honey arriving late. Highly evolving.P- Good bites from fragrant fine active wood, paper hue mouth coating, nutmeg, vanilla and boiled berries, elegantly light, get candy sweet overtimes.

F- Medium-long, light texture with spicy ginger that evoke the trace of muddiness and earthiness from the soft oak. Is more than excellent, but a step short from exceptional.

— at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks for the free sample Whiskybase!

Nose

Vanilla pudding, sweet lime, peach, marzipan, dough, banana, pear and gold kiwi. Later more banana and the dough note keeps increasing.
Fresher with water: Apple.

Taste

Vanilla pudding, apple, apricot, vanilla, lime candy, caramel and a floral touch. With water it gets a bit creamier, but there's also some smoke from fireworks.

Finish

Pear, vanilla pudding, banana, cocoa, honey and something vegetal. In the end something musty like old chestnuts.
