I tried the ”old” version of this whisky, bottled at 43% (which is currently being replaced with a new version bottled at 40%). Nose: Quite discrete. Very creamy and smooth. Almonds, caramel, and canned peaches (or maybe apricots). A touch of plums as well. Just a tad of woody cinnamon. Toffee. All-in-all quite a few nuances on the nose, yet subtile. I like it. Palate: Again subtile - not an explosion of taste, but plesant mouthfeel. Toasted nuts and wood; very rounded, with just a tad of bitterness. Some of the fruits from the nose are carries over, but are much less prominent. Overall I experiece it just a bur underwhelming - the subtileness being very close to ”thin”. Finish: Initial finish is a bit short, but waiting a few seconds a quite long pleaant creamy nuttiness follows (a bit resembling of the coffee crema on an espresso). Also a dry woody touch, a bit like strong black tea (but without the bitterness). Overall: Refined, and you do get the age. Full of nuances and really, really tasty. Yet it underwhelms slightly on the palate, and I relly would have liked to see this at 46% or higher abv. Also you need to work a bit to pick up all those nuances, letting it rest and sticking the nose deep in the glass. All things considered, being on the generous side perhaps, I must it’s a really good whisky (on the boarder of being great), and I score it 4.0.
