The second tasting confirmed the first one. A great freshness and a rather complex whisky.
2005The nose is clearly marked by the freshness of cut grass mixed with smoothness of pleasantly perfumed flowers. Hints of hay and marshmallow as well and last but not least, a very nice complexity.
In the palate, quite a fruity taste (ripe pear) and some very discrete touches of walnut. Sweetness is clearly dominating, and the nice complexity promised by the nose has disappeared.
The finish is smooth also and relatively long, but never spectacular.
2008Hints of cut grass remind a Lowland whisky. This impression of cut grass is confirmed in the palate, and is rather fresh and very pleasant. Besides the cut grass, some hints of spice and menthol are present as well. A lingering and pleasant finish, and the whole makes a bottle I really recommend.
2004Again, the nose misleaded me, as I was quite sure this was a Lowlands whisky, sith its fresh cut grass and pear smells. The mouth is somewhere between pear and coffee.... Nice fruity hints, with touches of chocalate and some bitterness. Some discrete spices as well.
The finish is pleasantly lingering and rather warm, and the pleasure of the mouth is nicely prolonged for a while.
