A nice nose with floral (heather) notes and wet earth hints. As the time goes along, pleasant fruity notes (plum jam) appear together with some remote citrus smells. Anyway a very nice perfume.
In the palate, first some bitterness developing soon on quite a marked acidity. From nutty hints at the beginning to acid fruit, green apple. Very nice contrasts between bitterness and acidity. The high percentage of alcohol does not hinder at all.
The finish is long and fresh, marked by the memory of the acid notes and woody bitterness.


Several weeks after the first opening, this bottle seems to be completely different from the first tasting notes.
The nose suddenly became delicate, with nice but also very clear nougat hints. A nougat stick in the middle of a bunch of flowers... In the palate, a very nice complexity, where green apples mix with this strange nougat impression and a touch of spices (cloves?) makes this bottle simply unforgettable.
The finish is lingering, pleasant, and the spicy notes, mixed with nutty hints prolong the pleasure fo this bottle.


The rather discrete nose reveals cereals and is marked by alcohol. The alcohol degree provokes some quite unpleasant tingling's at nosing.
In the palate, an nice contrast between some slightly acid hints (citrus fruit or green apple) and the cereal and spices. The alcohol is too present, unlike other whiskies with the same percentage where the alcohol is no hinder at all.
The finish is nice, with a touch of bitterness.
