The nose is reminding me of a basket of yellow fruit. As powerful as concentrated, it smells peaches, nectarines, sherbet, syrup ... This is an extremely good fruity and complex melt, even if we wait a while to get the full potential. Some other flavors are trying somehow to get a place: there are yeast, honey, vanilla, and a bit of edge plants (underbrush). Aeration allows spices (paprika, pepper, light salt) to show and, finally, pastry flavors (mocha cake), the only real counterweight to this very beautiful fruit. The palate confirms the nose : it is very fruity (pears, nectarines, apricots), after an attack on very warm hazelnut and chocolate, which gets better after venting, she will get to pastry. Following this fruity cascade excellently framed and integrated, we have some citrus and just a little smoke on the finish. The whole fruit remains clear, as linear as well. The final, stays long in the same register. It has a beautiful dominant yellow fruit, with a little fruit skins giving a rough thing to, as well as spice and minerality to finish. In conclusion, a very good whisky oriented fruity, that needs a little time to fully express itself.

Colour : Gold Nose : We start with honey and wax. Slight acidity, with some lemon. Smells like a young Clynelish, with a little bit more acidity. Some sweet almond. Some whiffs of white alcohol, "eau de vie". The alcohol is not very well integrated. Green apple. We start off good, but overall, a bit disappointing. Quite artificial. Some coconut. Mouth : We remain on notes of green almond, honey and wax. The alcohol is too noticeable and too "white". It's not very seductive, maybe too young. Aftertaste : paper, a bit artificial. At the end, a bitter taste undermines the whole dram. Finale : Long, on cardboard. Conclusion : Nose is quite nice at first, but it all becomes quickly artificial. Nose and mouth are mainly on white alcohol. Too bad.
