Another whisky that made me curious because it is nearly completely unknown.
Nose: raspberry jam, cherries, malty, saw dust, ripe strawberries, a bid like hamster food (that dry mix of pellets, grain flakes, dried fruit ...), cold coffee, peaches, bid of vanilla. I not gonna lie - it is a bid weird and unusual, but that I find interesting.
Palate: light, sweet and fruity, fruit-kernels, it has a strange funky note that is noticeable on the nose as well - I’m not sure what that is but I never had that in any whisky before except for Campbeltown - it in fact reminds me of Springbang. It also has some charred smokiness.
Finish: nice balance of sweet, sour, dry and bitter. It is a curious whisky that I think could work really well with some peat to it. But it also is nicely drinkable like this and has some nice depths and is really unique. I like that. An interesting experience for sure.
