| Tasting Notes | |
| Robert Karlsson | Dustily dry slightly smoky style. Then some quite restrained vanilla. Malt... With time and dedication you'll be rewarded with leather and tobacco and, is it eucalyptus? Peppery, spicy. Alcohol. Malt and some vanilla. Very dry aftertaste. Time is needed, and a second chance in my case. I like it. A bit too restrained for my tastes at first, then it grows. |
| Oliver Klimek | Color: Bright amber - Nose: Burnt down bonfire, spicy sea breeze, just a very faint fruitiness. - Palate: Peat and pepper, but also a bit of salt and slightly herbal note. - Finish: Very long, smoky and spicy, some sweetness is noticeable later - Overall: An excellent dram, I like it a tad better than the standard 10yo. Fruiter nose but peatier and spicier palate. |
