  1. gallfux did not rate this whisky Expert Senior

    In the nose a mixture of pear and a bit of sour blueberry. With sponge cake. Cornflakes. In addition fresh and floral notes. Succulent wood too.
    Nice sweetness in the mouth. Brittle. Some marzipan. Orange oil. Toast. Dried wood. Grain.

    Neat malt, which doesn't flash me now either. The prices from € 200 - € 600 are of course completely stupid and absolutely not of quality.

    Very nice stuff. Nuff said. Tasted on 13/11/2016 in a Japanese line-up (WB ID's 70236, 5443, 9252, 38412, 6016, 71248 and 20342, in that order). 
    • Nose
      Oh, this is nice! Flowers everywhere - I'm imagining The Sound Of Music in my head now! Some cinnamon, grassy notes as well, everything accompanied with a layer of vanilla beeswax. 
    • Taste
      This is the good stuff. Clean and crisp yet full of flavors: vanilla beeswax sweetness with floral floralness (is that a word? Well, you get the idea). Faint touch of wood. 
    • Finish
      Peppery spiciness kicking in, later on converting to sweet floral tones with some grassiness. 

  9. Igor scored this whisky 85 points Expert Senior

    In Scottish terms it might be close to Lowland territories.
    • Nose
      First nose provides fine sourness, sour-sweet fruit - white apple like, apple juice, citron, juicy kiwi pulp, it is fresh, woodsy slightly, wood chips?, with hints of cut grass, mint leaf, eucalyptus and muskmelon.

      Basically this is very summery indeed, warm, yet clear and delicate enough, with touches of field flowers, daisies, pollen/honeyed, anise, rosin, sleek (vanillic) wood, cashew, hazelnut. And after that: candied fruit jelly, gelatine, glucose, 
    • Taste
      A trifle sweet beginning alters promptly by herbal bitterness of fern, leafage, bay leaf, licorice root and menthol - cool, fresh.

      Mid palate: chamomile tea, broth?, herb tea, wild (mānuka?) honey, a tad earthy, salty even.

      Medium bodied, oily. Being moderate on the palate, it's got a nice balance indeed - no edginess, no sharpness whatsoever, nothing is jutting out there, everything's in harmony - ah, so Japanese that!
    • Finish
      Lemon zest, (salty) lemon-/orange rind, coriander, nutmeg, bitter tangerines flare up then, ginger sherbet fizz. Citruses galore.Soft but lasting. With an exclusive balance once again.

  10. detachedblue scored this whisky 87 points Connoisseur

    This is very young and not that matured in my opinion. However, the casks they used were exceptional. This is a very decent sherries whisky.
    • Nose
      Very sweet without smoke, pineapple and stewed apple, banana and red berries.
    • Taste
      Very smooth and mellow, banana and sherry, milk chocolate
    • Finish
      medium finish, sherry and spices.
