Nose: Fruits, like green apples and pears. Very smooth with spicy and floral notes. Some vanilla and even sea breeze in a smooth way. Pure luxury for your senses – and did I mention it was smooth? Taste: Hints of peat and peppers but mostly, sweet malt. After addition of water, honey and caramel rise to dominate. Finish: Lasts long and good. A bit dry with delicate spices. Vanilla and fruits are like velvet for your throat. Balance: In great balance, very smooth, yet charismatic whisky. Keeps getting better every step of the way. The marvellous finish is like the main event of an entertaining show.
