Colour: Old gold
The nose is delightfully floral, but without much complexity. A slight tingling betrays the presence of alcohol. We guess some bitter notes, nuts. After a few moments, fruity notes appear, but rather discreet.
The mouth is first rather acidic, with a metal side. Without being disagreeable, that mouth is rather plain, although there was a greater variety of tastes that foreshadowed the nose. Only, those tastes are not my favorites ...
The finish is long and the metal side of the mouth is relatively dominant. Some acidity is present, but the pleasure is not at the rendezvous.
2010Colour: Old gold
The nose is first marked by alcohol, which prevents in the first instance to detect odors emanating from the whisky. Once the tingling are mastered, floral notes and subtle hints of chocolate and dried fruit make their way.
Mouth fairly strong contrasts with the nose, with that avalanche of acidic tastes, apple green (very green), but against, the alcohol is at least as present than it was in the nose. The acid notes are quite varied, contributing more to unbalance all that than to qualify it as being complex.
The finish is medium length, without presenting a huge interest ...
