Whisky Notes (92)

Nose: lovely freshness. Entirely on pineapple and beeswax, always a treat. Tangerines, mirabealles, guava and a few white cherries. Light tobacco notes behind the fruit salad. Very subtle herbs (verbena) and mint. Buttercups and honey. Those casks, just wow. Mouth: a mix of fruits and polished oak, constantly cross-fading. Oranges, Grand Marnier, mint and eucalyptus. Peppercorns. Hints of tobacco and camphor. Green mango, lemons and juicy grapefruits. Herbal honey. If I remember correctly, this one is a little more spicy and oaky than the Speyside 1975 from Sansibar last year. Finish: long, minty, with green tea and coconut. Something of old Calvados too.
Great stuff, I have informed you plenty of times about the very high quality of this parcel of casks, this is no exception.
