Very pronounced green apples and butterscotch. Lemon oil. Sweet and fresh
Taste:



Sweet arrival, caramel. Malty with toasted cereal but not oily like grain whisky. Spiciness builds over time. Finishes almost sour.
Finish:


The finish is peppery and the citrus from the nose comes back. There's an annoying bitterness which combined with the maltiness means that it has an aftertaste that is reminiscent of lager. Not a fan.
Comment:
This bottle starts off a little harsh, but calms down a bit after a week or so of being opened. The nose and palate are just fine, very fruity and light, but the finish is a problem for me, that bitterness is annoying and spoils for me what would otherwise be a very decent malt.

Comment: a pretty simple straight forward bottle. I feel like it's a glenfiddich with a touch of saltiness.

Comment: It doesn't seem to have a red line between nosing, taste and finish. Not bad, but leaves me somewhat perplex.

Comment: Very strong saltiness. I'd describe this whisky as saltwater with alcohol. After trying it multiple times I was able to taste out some nuts, but that's really about it. There is no sweetness to me. If you leave it in the mouth long enough you get some slight peppery-wood.
