Color: Gold
A fruity nose with a very slight hint of peat and traces of chocolate. Everything is subtly pleasant. Nothing spectacular but a very pleasant mix of ripe fruit and floral scents.
Mouth sharing the subtle character of the nose. Here again nothing spectacular, but still the same balance and the same discrete notes fuitées.
The finish is fresh and pleasantly long.

The nose is fresh and salty, however it remains discrete despite a slightly spicy touch recalling liquorice.
In the palate, a very pleasant complexity, allying violet flavours to a discretely smoked peat and some ripe fruits hints.
A very long and pleasant finish, sweet with some non dominant woody hints. A very subtle whisky, to taste in a quiet atmosphere because concentration enhances the pleasure offered by such a whisky.

Quite a classical nose, made from malted barley and fruits behind a light veil of smoke. A touch of chocolate and coffee and a slight woody note. A flower touch is present at retro- olfaction.
In the palate, some nice development from bitter, slightly woody notes on acid hints and then back to the first bitterness, The whole on a vast taste palette. Not a classical woody bitterness, but something like a bitter fruit, and not a classical citrus bitterness, but something with more nuances.
The finish is long, again marked by this strange fruity bitterness (bitter exotic fruits, gentian)> After rereading previous notes, it appears that the perception is quite different this time. However, no doubt about the quality of this nice whisky.

The nose is characterised by a great freshness, however rather discrete, with some liquorice hints, followed by a palate recalling some old violet sweets from our childhood, a little like the special finishes (port or claret) from Bowmore. The peat and the smoke are extremely discrete, and share the attention with a lot of other fragrances, giving this whisky an exceptionally complex character.
The finish is long and spicy, and some liquorice hints continue to develop. A very good bottle.
