A slightly acid smell, green apple, is dominating. This acidity remains in the palate, but does not hinder at all. The finish is rather long and the whole makes that this refreshing whisky a quite interesting one. It's alcohol degree, just between too much and not enough makes it a rather good one.
2004The nose is pleasantly fresh with a discrete smell of green apple.
In the mouth, a mix of malt and a kind of acidity, but not like citrus fruit but like apple, followed by a nice finish, slightly spiced and recalling some menthol touches.
2005Nice fruit flavours with hints of yeast and a touch of wood inspire the first impressions
In the palate, a nice complexity mixing slightly bitter notes (nut) to slightly acid ones, the whole making part of a whole which is both smooth (honey and malt) and bitter.
The finish is quite long and warm, but has lost the taste diversity of the mouth.
