Professionelle Bewertungen

BOW (88)

Nose: A heady bouquet that commands attention—tannic oak interwoven with hypnotic floral notes. There's a deep complexity here, captivating and almost otherworldly.

Palate: A luscious interplay of flavors: ripe peaches drenched in honey, with a delicate whisper of anis threading through.

Finish:A crisp, assertive oakiness that lingers, drying the palate without overwhelming the senses.

Comment: An elegant malt with oak that flexes its muscles without bullying its companions—a testament to masterful balance.

Official tasting note (88)

Michael Jackson:

Nose: Lots of floral, tannic, oak extract. Heady. Hypnotic.

Palate: Peaches, honey, anis.

Finish: Crisp, dry oakiness.

Comment: The oak does not totally dominate, but is powerful for such an elegant malt.

Dave Broom

Nose: Tight, fragrant nose: cinnamon, clove, apple and heather. Firmer and more malty with water.

Palate: A fairly tight structure with root ginger, heather, dry grass, dried apple. Good maturity, well balanced and a spicy, exotic overtone.

Finish: Clean, good length.

Comment Balances sweet and savoury. Next time though make it unchillfiltered!
