    27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A pretty nice HGML but I did expect more. Fruity with esters and light spicy tingle on the palate. The wood is well integrate and there is a light marzipan note in there as well. In the background there is some glue and solvents.
