Tasting note by Stefan Van Eycken:
Nose: you get prominent notes of green apple peel, marzipan, chinsuko cookies and lemon-drizzled apple pieces. After a while, notes suggestive of pear sorbet, maraschino cherry, pine resin and even a hint of pain relief spray appear.
Palate: A fresh but with a creamy mouthfeel. The key notes are Danish pastries, key lime pie, soft fruit candy, stem gingerand rhubarb jam.
Finish: A long and lingering with an intense chili pepper top note, and underneath, hints of caramel mousse and pear syrup.
Overall: An excellent cask that shows a level of maturity you wouldn’t expect of a whisky just shy of 4 years.
