Warm, gute Trinkstärke. Honig, floral, Orangenblüte, Vanille und Rosine (Verkostungsnotizen Grand Whisky). Sehr guter Sipper, gutes PLV. So, nun mal in Ruhe das mitgenommene Sample. Fruchtig, würzig, rostig. Fein ausgewogen, gut geschmolzen, gute Trinkstärke. Etwas Teer. Die Nase ist saugut. Im Mund dann sehr würzig und irgendwie eigenartig Langer, toller Abgang. Sehr schöner Agricole, gut trinkbar.
Degusté au Spirits Days à Tournai, notes rapides : Nez : plus orienté cognac ? très fruité Bouche : pas mal d'épices et de tanins Finale : chocolat, très ronde comme un miel Bref : plus épicé et plus marqué, peut être un peu moins équilibré pour moi.
Très bon sur la noisette, vanille. Me fait penser au j bally 12 ans
À bit sweet and mellow, but quite enjoyable
