Nose : Quite spicy, some coconut, lovely wood. fresh sort of. with some candy on the nose, banana and vanilla add crème Brule. rather creamy.Very Nice banana cream becomes more evident as time goes by, or if you add a wee bit of water. I think the nose can benefit from a splash of water here.
Palate: It’s like a vanilla banana popsicle we get here with some malt and alcohol poured over it. very tasty, and heart warming starting of very spicy, then getting creamy with time, and that banana vanilla thing going on. very nice.
finish: The finish is medium long with a lot of malt, and vanilla and quite a bit of coconut and a very distant whiff of peat smoke, almost unnoticeable.
This is a very “strong” profiled malt. very distinct flavours and a lot of wood influence (not woody, but wood influence – vanilla. coconut, etc). If you like those kind of whisky profiles (and I do), you will love this one. full of flavour and rather dominant. Well done.
