Colour: full gold.
Nose: starts very flowery, vanilled and slightly yoghurty, really in the regular 10yo’s genre but with a little more of everything. Gets more precise with time, with quite some buttercups, dandelions, vanilla crème, muesli, grenadine and orangeade, hints of mashed potatoes and boiled milk. Gets a little mashier and yeastier over time but never ‘too much’. Slight oakiness and very faint smoke. Also pleasant notes of sultanas arising after quite some time.Very ‘honest’ on the nose, a whisky 1.0 as opposed to the whiskies 2.0 (in other words, wineskies and woodskies).
Mouth: a tad weakish right at the attack but the overall profile is quite good, with rather obvious notes of fruit spirit (plums) plus quite some caramel and vanilla. Alas, the development doesn’t really happen, it stays on praline and plum spirit.
Finish: rather short, grainier and maltier now but with always quite some caramel. I’d say it’s substandard malt as far as the palate is concerned but I really liked the nose.
