★★★
Nose
A lovely straw colour, this whisky has a nice thick texture
that hugs the glass. It has a wonderful nose, releasing lemon and rainfall, moderately
sweet white wine like pinot gris or sauvignon blanc, some walnuts and a lovely
grassy backdrop, not dry but lush like moss. Apricots and prunes come through,
all swirled into a nice creamy porridge.
Taste
Very smooth and soft, lots of fruitiness and spice hits the
tongue with that fine smack of porridge and bitter dryness of white wine as
sweet bursts of prunes cur through that dry fog.
Finish
Very nice and long finish on this whiskey, smooth and not overpowering but gentle.
Overall
This whisky dances on the tongue ever so softly like a
graceful ballerina. It does not have dramatic punch but it tip toes on the
tongue with majesty and grace. Lovely! I would have liked a bit more smack,
though. It is a little disappointing when it hits the tongue, because a lot
more is expected. This whisky has a fabulous nose, but it is let down a bit by
its taste and finish; much too weak and dry with not enough body.
