The nose is surprisingly peppery wiht sherry hints behind some nice malty flavours.
In the mouth, the first impression is rather discrete, but the taste develops quickly on more complex, still peppery and malty fragrances with sherry touches on the background.
The finish is rather long, spicy and smoothly malted. This bottle seems to get better and better.

The nose is pleasant, with some malt hints.
The taste is rather complex, and a slight sherry hint augments the pleasure to drink this whisky which is not really known as being a great whisky - wrongly, according to my personal opinion-.
A long finish with spicy hints make me give this whisky a rather good quotation. This is an interesting bottle, not to reject right away. In short a very good whisky.

During the second tasting, the nose was rather discrete, with a hint of pepper. The nose announces a good whisky.
This impression is not denied in the palate. The problem is that it tastes a bit "diluted", has a lack at character. However, the taste is good, with some pepper and spice notes. The peppery finish is too short and gives the same impression of "dilution"
It's a pity, because it could have been a great whisky.
