Nose: dried fruits in dark syrup, liquid malt, cocoa, sweet cough juice, mint, sour blood oranges, apricots, raisins, milk chocolate, cold tea, fresh autumn leaves, an open old book / old paper, dry exotic spices, caramelized nuts - a fantasticly balanced mix, rich and powerful Palate: ground coffee / roasted wood, cereal with dehydrated berries, citrus, a little bitter dried fruits (dates but not as sweet) Finish: oak forward and slightly smoky (not peaty but more like cask-char), dry orchard fruits, I had this whisky before as a sample about a year ago. And I knew that I had to get a bottle sometimes. Then it was sold out for many months and as soon as they were restocked I pulled the trigger. This is simply a very nice whisky. Easy to drink but very exiting and flavorful. A lot to discover in the wide palette of flavors and aromas. It is rich and deep and “dark”. Extremely well put together and balanced. I love it. A great whisky to share because it feels like it can be enjoyed by a wide range of whisky lovers.
