This one needs a drip of water to pack a punch. Then it's intense, slightly briny. Great

General description

I find it to be good but thin when comparing to others of this age. The alcohol taste seems to overwhelm the flavour intent.

en veldig god drink, goe kryddermix i starten og kommende liten røyksmak etter et par sekund forsvinner etter 1-2 sekund en herlig avslutning med krydder smak. en lettdrikkene wisky som er fuldig.

General description

Nose is weak at first but then unfolds with hints of chocolate, citrus from grapefruit and malt. Taste is sweet but not as sweet or bitter as expected. It goes down rather easy and is unexpectedly light and delicate. Finish is somewhat smoky. Overall very good and worth the step up from 10 yr.

Nose

Grapefruit, malt, salt, nuts, chocolate

Palate

citrus, salt, smoke, oak
