My comments:
A young Virgin Oak cask for Netherlands. Interesting. My score: ?? p

Tasting notes from whiskyfun: Official tasting notes:

NA NOSE: Punchy, with vibrant aromatics. An initial rush of freshly coopered oak followed by fresh buttered toast and sugar dusted almonds. Ripe apricots acccompany a concentrated serving of vanilla essence.
COLOUR: Full, rich amber.
TASTE: Oily with super viscosity and mouthfeel. Ripe fruits including peaches and apricots interact with pronounced vanilla bean nuances. Sweet desert spices of nutmeg and cinnamon wrapped around a finish of honey blossom and freshly baked soda bread. Lovely balance.
