Whisky Notes (89)

Nose: back to a European style of fruitiness. Rather creamy. Yellow apples, with a lot of banana ice cream as well. Hints of apricot yoghurt. Sweet barley notes, almonds, light vanilla. Keeps getting brighter in the glass. Mouth: sweet, with an even bigger fruity side. Starts on tinned pineapple, warm peaches, plum compote and apricot jam. Then yellow raisins, custard and gentle oak spices. Apple pie. Coconut cream. A little mint. There’s something aromatic as well, perhaps bergamot notes. Finish: long, spiced apples, malty notes and dried fruits.
Again a well succeeded dram. Very creamy on the nose, with a bigger fruitiness than expected on the palate.
