This great distillery usually produces whiskies which are less marked by the alcohol. This 21 years old edition has of course all the ingredients of a great whisky, a wide aroma range, a very long finish which retains the taste for long minutes, but the beginning is rather aggressive, dominated by an impression of alcohol burning sensation. It is difficult to believe that this whisky stayed for 21 years in an oak cask. The price of the bottle seems to be out of proportion with its quality.

The nose is clearly marked by citrus fruit (grapefruit), hiding a malt smell mixed with some hints of dried hay. A nice complexity, but remaining on the acidity.
In the mouth, the alcohol impression of the first tasting was not present anymore (aeration, evolution of own taste ?), but the acidity is dominating. A nice evolution to malted notes.
The finish is relatively long, but here the acidity is present as well...

The nose is pleasantly marked by spices, pepper and nutmeg on a nice malty background. The nose announces a great tasting moment.
Unfortunately, the mouth is less interesting, with its half bitter half acid notes. A kind of watery feeling and a lack at consistence. The nose was too enticing probably...
The finish is nice with its haselnut hints, but not nice enough to compensate the relative deceptoin in the palate.

The second tasting did not really contradict the first one. However the quotation is higher this time.
