Nose: marshmallow, fresh lemon and orange, black currant, caramelized apple, a little apple cider but still more on the sweet side, oaky base and background Palate: a really good translation of what you get from the nose, fresh, fruity and sweet-sour, nutty (walnut) Finish: still fruity and citrusy, a bid dry, medium long Very enjoyable but somehow I liked the 12 years old better, which was smoother so that the fruitiness was delivered more rounded. All in all it is a nice dram with enough variety and flavor to come back to every so often. I will definitely get the 18y next.

[LOOK] Inviting rosé pink color, clumped small legs [NOSE] Wildflower, faint licorice. [PALATE] Early honeysuckle gives way to kiwi skin tartness that fades to a light oak smokiness, two dimensional, lacking complexity [FINISH] Pink peppercorn followed by shallow tanniny smoke that ends too soon [MOUTHFEEL] Smooth, light and syrupy
Gut ausgewogen, ohne rauch/torf, weniger sanfter abgang wie erwartet
Excellent sweetness with a full smooth finish. One of my favorites!
Holy sh.... I just proposed to this glass of ambrosia.
