Nose
Light, fruity (tropical fruit caramel candies), dried apples and sultanas, strawberry jam, honey notes, hint of barley, a bit of vanilla, mineral and woody notes on the background. Water opens beautiful sherry notes and intensifies wood.
Palate
Sweet, slightly spicy (ginger and some intense “winter” spices like clove and cardamom), blackcurrant jam, chocolate, a lot of oranges, gentle oak
Finish
Short, a bit sweet, different berries, blackcurrant leaves, creamy notes, mild oak
Conclusion
Very nice malt despite it’s NAS. Full-bodies, well balances, pleasant on every tasting stage. It lacks complexity but it’s very drinkable and cask strength in addition. Good choice to enjoy without high expectations. Quite pricey though.
