Bottlings

On one hand this whisky is very light and floral, on the other hand it has quite a robust spiciness which gets a bit into the way. – Rating: 85/100
June 18, 2012
A very complex yet light-bodied malt that has fruity and spicy flavours in very good balance. – Rating: 88/100

Like ever so often, a promising nose doesn’t really translate onto the palate. It is all rather subdued and fragile in character. – Rating: 74/100
