Nose
Creamy, slightly sweet, yellow apples, honey, sweet gooseberries, malty notes, wet wood, winey motives, a hint of green pepper, some butter croissant notes after adding water
Palate
Tad sweet with a pinch of ground pepper, apple mash, sour berries mix, toffee, rather bitterish oak
Finish
Dried apple fruitiness with some nutty feeling, rather dry, astringent, noticeably bitter
Conclusion
Quite disappointing whisky as for this age. Flat, wood-driven, rather bitter in the taste and aftertaste. This expression’s strongest side is its nose: creamy and pleasant. Unfortunately from this tasting stage everything gradually goes down.
