I'm not an expert. That said... Neat ---- Alcohol present on the nose. I could not distinguish the notes at first. Later I could smell caramel and ripe bananas/pears or green apple. I could not distinguish very well. On the palate is spicy at first. When it reaches the side of the tongue is sweet and pleasant. The green apple and coconut hints are more present. The finish felt short and somewhat dry and refreshing. With water ---------- On the nose: the alcohol is gone. The scent of ripe bananas/pears and green apple is much much more strong. Almost resembles almond extract. On the palate: spiciness is gone, at first. Becomes sweeter and the ripe fruit taste diminishes but it is still present. The coconut however only appears at the end while the liquid is still in mouth slayer with the spiciness. The finish is short, not much to say. My verdict is that this is an verage whiskey: not bad at all, but far from the best I have before neither does worth the regular price tag (as per today €50). I will definitely buy again if I find another discount.
