The first nosing left a very good impression. A domination by malt with some slightly acid hints. The taste is influenced by sherry hints, on a background of malted barley, and some smoke. A rather long and pleasant finish completes the image, and prolongs the pleasure of drinking the not very famous whisky. 

At the second tasting, the first impression is a great sweetness, and a honey and vanilla fragrance is detected by the nose. The palate confirms this first impression, and slightly smoky malt hints are present. The finish is rather long, and the vanilla sweetness is still present.

A pleasant sweet nose, marked by ripe fruits, pear or melon, with a hint of pepper on the background. Remote touches of dryed grass too. In the palate, the fruity sweetness shares the attention with toffee notes and a touch of bitterness. A pleasant finish, rather long, somewhere between hazelnut and malt. Just sweetness.

The nose recognizes immediately a Speyside whisky, even if the complexity is less than for other malts from this area.  The taste, rather dry and slightly acid is far from being unpleasant, even if it is difficult to define. The finish is a bit too short, and leaves hungry for more..

The second tasting confirmed the lack of complexity, but this whisky is excellent. The finish seemed longer, malty but balanced. The taste seemed more pleasant and this is why the rating is higher than the first time.

At the third tasting, the nose was very fruity (ripe pear), relatively complex, with some hay, cake and cinnamon smells. In the palate, a kind of bitterness and some slight acidity, somewhere between wood (or walnut) and citrus fruit, going successively from the one to the other. A nice woody and spicy finish (pepper).

Color: Dark Mahogany A slight odor of solvent and paint with some tingling due to alcohol first, before moving on to the sherry. The nose gives a nice feeling of freshness. The first impression on the palate is very pleasant and strong enough contrast with the nose. Sherry immediately apparent and beautiful nutty with a hint of mocha give a nice complexity to the whisky. The finish is long and warm memories of the sweet bitterness of the nuts mixed with hints of coffee is nice.
