Nose
Light, floral and fruity (light strawberry and kiwi notes), candied lemon zest, fruit lollipops, vanilla, ripe pear, some malt notes, background dusty oak. More malty and yeast notes with water
Palate
Slightly sweet, spicy (ginger, white pepper), light minerality, sweet pastries, pear marmalade, vanilla muffins, caramelized lemon zest, woody notes at the end
Finish
Medium-long, quite sweet, with orchard berries and raw almonds, slowly getting dry, ending with soft oaky tones
Conclusion
Pleasant whisky, with all the typical signs of bourbon maturation - light, fruity and floral. Very good balance and some signs of complexity - excellent result as for 11 yo malt. Good summer dram but unfortunately available in 100 ml samples only.
