This whiskey is distilled from malted and non malted barley, and has a nose with a lot of cereal and wood, with a strong sweet component of vanilla, maple syrup, caramel, green apple and almonds. Herbaceous background profile, with a slight balsamic note.
The palate is clearly spicy, with nutmeg and star anise, but it is always the sweet side that is the master, here softer and silkier, of butter cookies, lots of fruit (apricot, peach, ripe apple), lemon peel, honey, chocolate chips, caramel, wood. Still a subtle balsamic background note.
The finish is quite long and spicy, of cereal, wood, honey and fruit.
The three casks work together to create a very pleasant and rich whiskey, sweet and fresh at the same time, full of taste and very drinkable. An excellent job.
