Taste : | Medium to light with a short palate. |
Remark : | Color : Water
Smell : Nothing special ! Palate : Short Remark : A bit sharp / alcohol - disapear after a while. Not a large aftertaste / palate. A neutral Whisky where our guess is that it would improve with som more years on cask. Total Score : 5/6 Hmmmm... Not like girls..., the younger the better.... Need some years... |
Danish Remark : | Lidt skarp i det den indtages, men dette forsvinder hurtigt. Har ikke meget eftersmag. En neutral Whisky. Den vil nok vinde en hel del med 7 år mere på bagen. Total Score : 5/6 Ikke som kvinder.. jo yngre jo bedre. Denne ville have godt af et par år mere på bagen. |
