A good whisky does not necessary need to be old to be good. I do not really understand the comment from Maison du Whisky about "old wardrobes", but this whisky is surprising despite its 6 years. A very good bottle with lots of character. This bottle is not really essential, but the lucky people who own it must have no regret.


At the second tasting, the nose was rather dry on a background of citrus fruits.
The impression in the palate was that this is a very nice whisky, however a bit young, with flavours between malt and citrus.
A short finish, but the whole is a good bottle.


Quite a discrete nose, giving immediately a watery impression of this whisky, The few fragrances I could catch remain a basket of malt lost in a field where grass has been cut some days ago.
The mouth is slightly fruity (pear) and develops rather quick on malted hints and reveals soon a kind of tingling which could be attributed to alcohol, even if the general watery impression remains,
The finish is not too long and the best description of it is the memory of some alcohol feeling (at least this typical tingling) without a special taste. After a wile some touches of overripe pear seem to appear.


Quite a discrete nose with remote acid hints of citrus fruit on a light background smell of leather and ripe fruit.
In the mouth, a slight bitterness and slightly acid touches covering malt taste and insipid fruits.
A clearly spicy finish.
