Nose: raisins dipped in light milk chocolate, fresh cut apple, dark non-liquid honey, plum jam, floral and oily oak, bid of vanilla
Palate: sweet in the beginning, a slight chili sensation, a good amount of dark chocolate
Finish: wood and ongoing dark chocolate, slightly dry
I must say I enjoyed this one. It definitely is an interesting dram that has to offer different chapters that stand out from each other. But it definitely doesn’t overwhelm with a lot of variety. This whisky offers just a few aspects but those it does deliver very well and convincing. The only real downside is that it feels too „rocky“ midway through the palate until the end of the finish - rocky in „hard, dry and rough“. I miss some roundness that would bring it together.
