Tastes

Nose: Some bitterness with oak and berries. Floral notes as well. Like taking a whiff at junipers and lingonberries. Taste: Oak with salty minerals are very strong in this one. Small amounts of toffee and spicy notes. Finish: Spices with oak. Dry and medium length. Earthy. Balance: A steady whisky, nothing great but not too bad either. Works coherently though every step of the tasting, just not the best one for my palate. In my opinion, not a big character – okay dram.

Nose: Promising barley which is somehow lost in the taste. Mixed with nutty notes and some citrus fruits and banana. Taste: Spices with fruit. The barley is there but not quite as good as in the nose. Touch of honey and apricot with small amounts of spices. Finish: Malt with some sweetness and green fruits. Feel of rum is nicely in the aftertaste but fades away too quickly. Balance: Interesting, vibrant dram – shows potential. Probably too fruity and undone for my taste. Would be nice to taste this whisky with more years in the casks.
