Very nice and expressive nose, pleasantly fruity and very fresh. Ripe fruits (pears, bananas) and green apple. Nice floral notes as well.
The palate is rather fresh too, quite complex ith nice fruity notes developing on acid freshness of green apple. A light veil of vanilla over the whole. Touches of sea spray. Salt. Very nice development of the taste, for a whisky which remains less complex than first announced.
The finish is long and fresh, and a kind of bitterness (cashew nuts) which was completely absent in the mouth appears after a while. A very pleasant bottle.
2008The nose develops interesting malty, marine and salty notes behind a quite clear spicy (pepper) touch, together with floral hints, discrete, but clearly present.
In the palate, the first impression is that this is a fruit alcohol, pear or apple. A discrete complexity, but rather present again. A nice evolution from fruits to salted malt, however keeping a clear acid hint which can be sometimes rather bothering before aeration, but which is part of the pleasure after the whisky "opened".
A nice finish, slightly dry and earthy, where the memory of the fruits which marked the mouth are still present.
