At the second tasting, the nose was rather rich, sweet and spicy at the time.
In the palate, this whisky is pleasant, with some citrus hints, on a malty background. Sweet with some more bitter or acid touches.
A relatively short, however interesting finish.
2005The nose recalls red fruits macerated in alcohol. If the port finish usually brings the whisky a great sweetness, the bitter impression is dominant in this version.
The complex taste, with some acid touches, is closer to a sherry finish as from a port finish.
The finish from an average length. An excellent bottle, but I was a little bit disappointed. I'll probably have to taste it a second time in better conditions...
2004The nose is very perfumed, with floral and honeyish hints. A touch of smoke too. A kind of fruity freshness.
The palate is sweet as well, with a very light touch oc acidity, but it remains rather boring and monotonous. No surprise. The mouth is "honnest", but banal.
The finish is quite long, marked by the same honeyish sweetness and the same acid touch than nose and mouth were.
