The nose detects some ripe fruit and floral hints, with a very discrete touch of smoke on the background. A sweet and pleasant smell.
In the palate sweetness and ripe fruit fragrances dominate. A rather sugared whisky, with a touch of citrus fruit and a slight hint of pepper.
The finish is rather long, and very sweet as well. For those who like sweet whiskies, this bottle should be very nice.

A second tasting generated less enthusiasm than the first one. This whisky, which however remains rather pleasant, is too much dominated by malt, and a certain acidity remains in the background.
2004
The nose is rather discrete but relatively complex, mixing fruity smells (orange marmalade) with malted hints and a touch of freshly cut grass on the background.
In the mouth, the taste is pleasant, mixing sweet hints of citrus fruit (pink grapefruit) with discrete hints of honey and some touches of hazelnut.
A short finish, recalling the honey and developing on hazelnuts.

A very nice smell invades the nose immediately. A mix of malt and fresher notes, orange? blackberry's?... The taste isn't deceiving neither, and the question raises why is this whisky not better known on the market? A nice finish completes the whole. The reasonable price is OK too. A recommendable bottle.
