Colour: Straw.

Nose: White orchard fruits (mainly apples), vanilla, and juniper. Lots of juniper. Yeasty and grainy. Sour cream. Unsugared flavoured yoghourt (unripe apricot?). Doesn't seem to be mature yet.

Mouth: Sugared juniper and vanilla. Soaked cereals. Getting more bitter now. Cinchona. Indian Tonic. Gin fizz. Getting hotter too (55% ?). Almost burning with lots of pepper and crystallized ginger.

Finish: Bitter and grainy.

Comment: This malt shows a grainy and unmatured side along with some overwhelming pepper and bitterness I don't feel comfortable with. A raw indy teenage Arran?

Nose: Lots of alcohol. Solvents, rubbing alcohol. Some notes of marine and iodine.
Taste: Very young. Brandy (mirabelle, quetsche), pear, vanilla. But again, too much alcohol.
Final: Rather long on fresh pears and black pepper.
Conclusion: Whisky too young and too alcooleux for my taste.

Nose: too reserved / quiet, on vague hints of white peach and pear. Marine hint / iodine? Surprising hint of caramel after aeration!
Mouth: delicate start (silky texture) on white peach and maybe some flowers. Malt.
Finish: rather short and very aromatic
Conclusion: malt is not bad but too subdued. No displeasure drinking it.

Colour: Straw
A pretty young nose with strong hints of alcohol and a pronounced yeasty smell. The nose is not to my taste. Aeration makes it the highest good and after a few moments, grains emerge.
The first mouth is sweet and moving slowly toward touches of citrus, bathed in a highly present alcohol. The mouth is monolithic and rather disappointing.
The finish is long and sweet.

The nose is fruity (apricot) and herbaceous. With a little water it opens on citrus (orange) and salt.
Very lively in the mouth, on blood orange and cereal aromas. Water makes the mouth creamier and brings out the salt.
Long finish, and hot chocolate.

Water is useful for this malt which is not bad but still a bit monolithic. It reminds me a malt as Ben Nevis.

Nose: spirity rom the very beginning. Opens on austere cereal notes, solvent and sulfur. I guess I also feel a maritime influence. Hints of pear and vanilla are expressed in background.

Mouth: Burning! Many new make and little else ... Sickening over sips.

Finish: long ...

Comments: this whisky has been surely bottled too young or having defects ... I do not like even a passable nose, mouth is disgusting.

Color: White dry wine

Nose: A bit austere at first nose, then slowly opens. Bergamot, iodine, malt, vinous or something. Finally rather pleasant as long as you appreciate other than vanilla / sweet bombs whiskies.

Palate: The texture is nice, attack sweeter than expected, the mid palate tingle a little. There's still volts ... A nice controlled bitterness balances the mouth. It opens with a little water, good balance between bitter notes and other tart ones (still bergamot).

Finish: Medium length, in line with the mouth.

Conclusion: A nice malt for man drinks lover, not in the brutal way, but the bitterness will not please the sweet tooth.

Nose: vegetable dish, Brussels sprouts, combined with pastry notes of marzipan. A little wax.
Palate: Initially sweet with these notes & vegetables (homemade soup with winter vegetables), turns on peat, bitumen, pepper, and never leave the register.
Final: pepper & salt.
Conclusion: A bit wobbly and not complex enough (too young?).

Color white wine clear

Nose: Alcohol locks the flavor. Light notes of almond and breadcrumbs. Aeration brings a floral dimension.

Taste: Alcohol still powerful. Herbaceous notes, soft almost creamy texture. Dilution brings anise impressions.

Final: The final is consistent with the first two stages of tasting: it remains on the almond. Retro olfaction, a curious note of burned. It ends a little hard way: impression of limestone.


A whisky that is a bit unbalanced with alcohol too present compared to the aromatic palette.
