- Reviewer
- Morsing
- Color
- Light, warm honey
- Nose
- Vanilla, a bit of raisin, very fruity and perhaps a bit of wood (oak?).
- Body
- Medium and very creamy.
- Palate
- There is a quite dominant but light smoke, lemon, fruit, vanilla (less than in the nose), a little sweetness, and a nice melon flavour (honey melon).
- Finish
- A medium long finish with lemon. The before dominant smoky flavour is only barely niticable, which gives a nice and light finish. There is also a darker taste that I cannot identify.
Very lovely and complex whisky, lots of fruit, a little sweetness and light smoke. Really a delicate Scotch. I usually prefer smoky, peaty island/islay whiskies like Lagavulin, but this is really something special, and much more interesting than your normal Dalwhinnie 15 or Glenfiddich 15. All in very rewarding, and though it is a bit hard to find (impossible here in Denmark) it comes at a bargain price.
