Jean-Marie Putz

Some clear peat hints and a woody smell characterize this promising whisky. After a few minutes, some fruity notes and a touch of acidité (citrus fruits) appear.
In the palate, a strange mix of peat and citrus, rather complex where hints of smoke are present without being dominating.
A nice finish, marked by the fruits, and smoke is coming back later on.

Jean-Marie Putz

A very clear, spicy, fresh nose, with both fruity hints and menthol aromas. Some lemon on the background. Nice complexity. Really a very pleasant nose announcing a great whisky.
The mouth is surprising, slightly medicinal, very fresh with aromatic herbs and a touch of wood. A kind of acidity dominates the palate and fine woody notes come and complete it. Some chocolate hints as well.
The finish is first woody before developing on malt. A touch of smoke too. It is smooth and rather long.
