Words of Whisky (86)

:
A bit more fuller-bodied than the 2004, but also sweeter. I'd say this comes down to preference, as they're in the same league. I'm not a sweet tooth, but I like this one better.
Nose
In a way very similar to the 2004, but with subtle differences. There's sweet lemon peel and soft butter, as well as stewed apples and some drops of honey. Finally a touch of merengue and sweet vanilla custard.
Taste
Sweet and sugary at first, quickly followed by a touch of lager as well as some spices like nutmeg and pink peppercorn. But also a touch of coffee grounds, charred oak and herbal notes.
Finish
Plenty of vanilla, a drop of lemon juice and sweet apples.
