A nice coconut nose, with cereal and pepper. Some nice touches of refined wood. A real pleasure announcing a very great mouth.
In the palate, a real "bounty", as the coconut notes are getting more and more dominant. Not a very wide taste palette, but a clear balance is obvious. No arabesques, this whisky does not need them to b really great...
The finish is long and fresh, again clearly marked by grind coconut and a touch of pepper.

Colour: Old gold
A beautiful nose marked by complex associations of sherry, ripe fruits and dried fruits, with hints of cocoa in the background. Spices and mint in addition to those beautiful notes of plum jam. Complex and balanced, the nose is extremely promising.
The mouth is at least as complex as the nose. It begins with notes of slightly bitter gentian mixed with sherry, nice touches lightly wooded, always in a superb balance and a wide variety of tastes.
Long and warm, the final perfectly summerizes the impressions of the mouth. Still this complexity, this mixture of flavors, but more subtle an even better melted in the mouth.
A wonderful bottle
