Tasting Notes:
Nose: The whisky opens with wine-like notes, showcasing grapes and an assortment of sweet fruits. This is soon followed by a wave of earthy tones, reminiscent of wet leaves and the mustiness of a root cellar. As time passes, the aroma evolves, introducing vanilla and tropical fruits.
Taste: Full-bodied with an initial burst of fruitiness and richness. The flavors of dried fruits come through strongly, accompanied by the tartness of rowan berries and the sweetness of assorted red berries. The earthy motif returns with the familiar note of wet leaves.
Finish: Medium-long, transitioning into a decadent realm of chocolate with a rich jam filling. A refreshing hint of mint at the very end.
"Oh, sweetness." - Thomas, Whisky Saga (88 Points)
