Nosing: Früchte Früchte Grüner Apfel Mandeln Karamell Süße Süße Süße : Vanille

Taste: Früchte Früchte Früchte Malz Orange Zitronenschale Süße Süße Karamell Karamell Vanille Eiche

Finish: Früchte Früchte Eiche Karamell Süße Vanille Minze Gras

Comment: This one is a bit on the sweeter side so if you don't like 'em sweet, say well away! Judging from reviews of when this First Reserve first came out and the bottles currently going, I wonder if it's very so slightly older now. To me it's lost the metalic twang of young whisky that was so obvious the last time I tasted it, but it was in my opinion far superior to when I tasted it in 2015.

Taste: Früchte Zitrus
Seems to be simpler on the taste.

Finish: Eiche
Short finish

Comment: 3 stars due to its cheap price. It's a fine whisky
