A good whisky from the Classic Malts series. But it did not leave me an imperishable memory. It is on its place in each whisky collection, but is not really exceptional.
2003Nice fruity nose with pleasant pear notes, some fresh citrus fruit hints (tangerine?) letting some malty notes appear on the background.
The mouth confirms the smoothness announced by the nose. Pleasant fruity impression.
The finish prolongs perfectly the mouth. Smooth and fruity. Long and fresh.
2009Henrik Johansson
Date of tasting: 8/12 2007
Appearance: Pale gold, surprisingly light and clear
Nose: Very clean and fresh, simple and pleasant nose with fruity, solvent hints like pear drops, lemon and some acetone. There's a very lightly sherried hint reminiscent of chardonnay, some hay like or green house scents and mossy water. It's all very delicate, and doesn't really need diluting.
Body: On the lighter side, but firm
Palate: Sweet, fresh, simple and pleasant just like the nose. The dominant flavours are sweetish and slightly acidic fruits and malt. Medium finish. Quite well balanced, but sort of unsatisfying and just a tad bland. Works very well when one's in the mood for something like this.
2007The spicy but rather vague nose evokes the barley with some difficult to define hints, probably some rather acid honey (?).
The same feeling is present in the palate.
The finish is relatively short, and here again, the barley with some more acid touches is present.
2004Spices on a cereal background, that what the nose detects.
In the palate, a rather flat taste consisting of barley enhanced by some slightly acid hints.
The finish is rather short, but quite interesting because some new flavors appear, like nice liquorice hints on a slightly woody background.
