Tasting notes Ruben Luyten - WhiskyNotes: Score 83/100
Nose: roots and leafy notes, warm smoked ham, with light Nescafé, yeast and herbs. Hints of bread with berry jams in the background – the sherry stays on the backplane. A light coastal breeze. Rubber too. There’s a warm side hinting at Lagavulin but it could be another distillery as well.
Mouth: still this warm profile with ashes and coal, smoked meat, tobacco and a caramel sweetness. Mid-palate it gains spicy notes (nutmeg, pepper), tart orange and a more winey and rubbery side. Not bad but not perfectly integrated in my opinion. More herbs and liquorice towards the end.
Finish: medium, ashy, with a hint of cocoa and herbs.
