Bright and fruity, lemon juice, yellow apples, burnt brown sugar, gooseberries, grassy motives, winey notes, vanilla, a hint of malt and wood. Water releases a lot of fruity notes (pears, kumquats, yellow plums), amplifies caramel, vanilla and winey notes

Sour notes, some ground peppers, lemon curd dessert, malt, apple mash, some oak at the end

Short to medium, tad sweet, nutty, with citrus zest and tender oak mix

Nice whisky, light and fruity, superbly balanced. Winey influence is obvious but not very strong: it just adds some nuances to a beautiful ex-bourbon maturation. This expression isn’t really complex as for 17 years maturation, but is very tasty and quaffable. The only obstacle to a perfect summer daily daram is its price
