Appearance: Deep amber, crystal-clear Nose: An expressive nose, dominated by fruit, underpinned by spices and a distinct woody note. Palate: The attack, smooth and intense, gives way to dried fruit and sweet spices, followed by toasty oak enhanced by caramelised notes. The texture is quite rich, without any alcoholic heat, resulting in a well-structured palate, albeit with a slightly restrained complexity. The long finish carries the oaky notes through. Overall impression: An expressive and generous whisky, where the fruitiness blends with the spicy oak on a full-bodied texture, despite a somewhat restrained complexity.
