Mina kommentarer:
Förra årets utgåva var riktigt god, så när jag behövde fylla ut paketet från Potstill, så var valet enkelt. Hela 64,9% håller den. Min poäng: ?? p

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Inga Appearance: Bright pale gold.
Nose: Remarkably rounded for its age. Very fresh, with surprisingly little prickle and no smoke. Extremely soft and honeyed, then quickly sharp and pungent. Intensely acetic (nail varnish, acid drops) with light green fruits behind (Muscat grapes, tinned pineapple and kiwi, lychees). Softens to travel sweets (lemon, barley sugar), then a suggestion of cappuccino coffee. Opens to new-mown grass; sappy, with tight oak and a little icing sugar. Water brings out sweet, coconut ice cream and light antiseptic notes, simplifying things overall.
Body: Light-bodied. Oily. Smooth.
Palate: Drinks remarkably easily straight. Fragrant shampoo, then mellows to fresh, juicy citrus fruits. Very sweet, with herbal notes underscored by eucalyptus. Crisp, but with a soft mid-palate. Oily and quite unctuous for a young whisky. Plenty of water calms things down. Sweetly fresh and easy to drink, the fruit still green-tinged (lychee and melon). Late on, a drier note of muesli.
Finish: Short, sweet and apéritif-lively. Notes of fennel and tarragon. Peppery.
