It is no surprise that this distillery is winning all the awards lately, and that is because Billy Walker is managing as the master distiller. This special edition was bottled exclusively for the Proffesional Danish Whisky Retailers and has been bottled at 48%abv and finished in a Pedro Ximenez Cask.
On the nose, it is very complex but a little dim. Takes time to open fully. Mint, dates, floral, white chocolate, banana bread, dulce de leche, peaches and leather. After a first sip, the aroma gave me cherries dipped in dulce de leche, a very elegant spiciness; vanilla and eggnog.
On the palate, is fantastic. Red fruits, red wine and lovely spices.more sips revealed white kit kat and salt.
Aftertaste is very rewarding. Red fruits, prunes, tobacco, hay. There is this good oak spice present, Gooseberries and Blackberries.
Overall, this is one great dram. Elegant, powerful, complex, delightful. The bitterness, sweetness and oak spices makes this single malt one memorable one. My score for it is 93 over 100.
