The aroma on the nose is very fresh and inviting, of freshly cut grass, flowers (rose and magnolia), almonds, orange, a drop of honey, nutmeg. Lemon cream. Slightly balsamic.
Warmer and stronger on the palate, with a slight spicy push (nutmeg and white pepper), flows oily while keeping its soul sweet and herbaceous soul, with more honey, orange, lemon and cereals. Slender peat in the background, little more than a curl of smoke with a metallic note. Constant and frank in the aromas, very drinkable.
Long enough finish, with a touch of salt, spices, orange, honey.
Complexity and evolution are certainly not among its characteristics, but it is a blended whisky quite pleasant to drink, well balanced in its aromas and rich enough to leave you satisfied.
