| Review #284 |
This whisky
has matured in refill American hogsheads, European Sherry casks and refill
casks with new ends, before they all are married in small oak casks. The smell
is fresh, full of citrus, orange and vanilla.
Some orange
and oak is the first thing I notice in the taste. Some salty mixes and that
works very well with the orange. Some citrusy notes appears in the finish. The
oak gets more present as well, and some spices and fresh mint joins the party.
A bit simple,
but a nice and well-behaved dram. It has a very fresh, yet maritime character
and that really works. The maturation in the smaller casks is working as well,
and it seems to be a good mix of American and European wood. I will give this
83/100 (20/21/22/20).
