Nose - Gentle sweet brioche, baked apples, hints of cedar wood, toasted almonds, vanilla Taste - Sweet spicy cinnamon/oak heat/tartness, gentle sweet apples, light apple stem/seed/peel bitterness, toasted soft brioche bread Finish - Lingering light cinnamon tingle/warmth, bitter/fruity apple stem/seed/peel lingers Score - 80/100 Final Thoughts - This was overall a very pleasant dram. Nice nose that shows promise, but sadly doesn't quite deliver on the palate. Still very pleasant at first as the Calvados influence is present but not overwhelming/overpowering the base spirit. Sadly there is this fruity bitter aspect that is a bit distracting to the entire experience since all of the flavors in this malt are quite subtle. Overall quite nice, but the bitterness from start to finish gets a bit distracting. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - Probably not another

Nose: Slight citrus. Green and red apples. Toffee with hints of vanilla. Melted butter. Elegant and floral. Palate: Very smooth texture with apple-like sweet fruitiness. More toffee - like sugar-coated apples basically. Finish: Toffeelike sweetness and apple (less the acidity of apples). Touches of breadsticks. Eventually some hints of milk chocolate. Overall: A very well integrated finish that really works without being overpowering. Elegant and interesting, not overly complex, but still a really good whisky: 3.75 points.

The nose is very fruity with strong grape notes. The palette is slightly bitter, but retains the fruity undertones. The finish is light and smooth with a hint of char

Light and refreshing. Apple/pear and citrus notes. Reminds me of refreshing spring weather. Really nice to drink.
