Reminiscent of a par Speysider. Light and malty, with notes of citrus, toffee and manuka honey on the nose. A toffeed sweetness appears first on the palate, followed by a dash of salt. Wood spice is much more evident on the palate than the nose, and the oak takes over into the finish.
Not as good as Yoichi 15 but still great stuff with a nose of Chocolate Covered Cherries, Floral, Toffee, Citrus, and Almonds, a palate of Malt, Smoke, Raisins, Dark Chocolate, and Pepper, and a finish of Apricot, Citrus, Sherry, Chocolate, and floral notes.
A fresh, clean whisky with forward notes of coffee, vanilla, and toffee. The finish is sweet and subtle, with oak and cereal surrounding the tongue. Not as complex as I would like, but what it does, it does well.
A very smooth whisky, too smooth for my liking. Tastes like chocolate
incredibly smooth. strong chocolate with a hint of salt
turf, zacht
