Nosing: Fruit Malt Zitrus Fruit Vanilla

Taste: Zitrus Oak Fruit

Finish: Sweet Chocolate Honey Nuts Oak

Comment:
For this price it is very nice whisky. For me personally maybe little bit to sweet. Great choice for guest who likes mix whisky with juice. Nose is really sweet and nice. I'm almost sure about little bit of sherry influence. Some ripe fruits. On the tongue whisky is sweet with some nice spiciness. Probably from the oak. No bitterness at all. Finish is medium long and gentle. Little bit spicy and sweet. For my this sweetness is more like honey than sugar. There is a hint of milk chocolate and little bit of nuts in the back. Especially after second or third sip.
