- Nose
- Concentrated sweet fruits.
- Palate
- Creamy. Intense berry-fruits. Predominantly blackcurrant. Also suggestions of flowering currant and passion fruit.
- Finish
- Light, dry.
- Comment
- Knowing that this distillery began with eau-de-vie, I hope I am not being suggestible, but I find the fruitiness of this whisky overwhelming.
60
- Nose
- Incredibly sweetly fruity: a cross between a fruit eau de vie and a (moscato-based) dessert wine, all jasmine and light citrus. Water softens down the intensity but still loads of boiled sweeties, orange blossom water and some dry malty notes.
- Palate
- Drier than the nose suggests. A light ethereal palate with those aromatics all the way.
- Finish
- Sweet.
- Comment
- A dessert spirit, more muscat than malt.
