4th batch. Quite alcoholic on the nose, difficult to go through to nose the different aromas, but at the first glance bold sweet with some fruitiness. The arrival is harsh, but quite tasty to tell the truth. But a disappointing finish. Clear a whisky that needs one drop of two of water. And after some drops of water, cloves and figs appear on the nose. The arrival is not so harsh now, but the alcohol is still there (maybe I should have put more water, but anyway I'm going to stop here). A lot going on on the taste, really sweet on the arrival and develops further with citric notes. The finish is now long, monotonic and warm. Pleasant whisky, not brilliant, but pleasant.

Reviewed August 5, 2015 (edited February 4, 2017)On the nose, complex and elegant; light smoky, cigar ashes indeed could be the description, fruity, with apples and a background of banana, and sweet, with notes of caramel. On the taste, acid, with sweet and bitter flavors.The finish is loooong and also complex, with a light mouth watering sensation followed by a smoky taste. One of the most elegant whiskies I've ever tasted. -

Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed June 30, 2015 (edited November 24, 2015)On the nose, mainly sweet, honey, with very very light fruit (lemon) and floral notes in the background. Not a lot going on on the taste, again the sweetness dominates, with a very unbalanced, strange finish. After you swallow the first sip, something doesn't match with the nose and taste experience, but in a bad way. A taste that I couldn't identify speaks louder than the rest, making this whisky a poor choice. -
On the nose, nuts and roast aromas, mainly almond, and far far away something sweet like caramel. On the taste, an oily sensation, chocolate, a bit of coffee, nicely rounded. Long and hart warming finish, little bit of orange in the background. Complex, rich, beautiful.A perfect buddy for the beginning of the winter.

Reviewed May 26, 2015 (edited April 24, 2018)On the nose, vanilla, marzipan and toffee. Medium viscosity, the rum in the background can be noticed. Medium to long finish, a little bit too harsh
