The very first nosing reveals some bee wax hints, sweet spices, apricot and some pepper. Vanilla notes follow together with some apple pie and then a touch of very fine wood. The whole seems to be embedded in bee wax.
The first mouth is complex, from acid and fruity notes, green apple developing on nice slightly woody and malty hints, while keeping this acid balsamic impression. However, the palette of tastes is relatively small, at least I mean there is no taste explosion in the palate, with all kinds of tastes. The whole is very coherent and balanced, without an exaggerated influence of wood and keeping a kind of strange impression both oily and acid, green fruit embedded in bee was. Very amazing mouth anyway.
The finish is lingering and pleasant, in exactly the same mood as the mouth. A strange mix of slightly acid aromas, slightly woody (bitter) and again this impression of a wax veil around it makes it a very special and quite unique whisky. Excellent, and not really usual.
