#5711 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A pretty OK DDL actually with a medium heavy profile. Wood is balanced really well with the anise, tobacco and light herbal notes. In the back there is some dried fruit, spices, light cherry and some caramel.
Whisky Live Paris tasting. Impressions and evaluation are based on direct impressions from the tasting glass. Guyana blend from various marques, which provide a pleasing potpourri with their allusions. Good quality, but in my opinion it lacks the final refinement.
Whisky Live Paris 2025 - to be tasted again to confirm the score and notes. A nice Demerara from Velier. For sure a blend, but the stills are undisclosed. Pleasant to drink, woody and rather herbal with a fresh note from aniseed that reduce my score, i'm not a fan of this side but overall it is not overwhelming.
WLP : Ultra plébiscité par le public, j’avoue que j’ai beaucoup adhéré aussi à ce jus, même s’il était presque trop « simple » à boire. C’est très gourmand, chocolat, légère point de fruits cuits et une finale fraiche légèrement herbacée. Ultra buvable, un petit plaisir simple (mais surement onéreux).
