Palate: the first impact is sweet. Suave note of vanilla and caramel are perceptible, followed by flavors of oak and a light spicy note. Also present are hints of honey, dried fruits and malt. The intensity is contained and the whisky results elegant.
Finale: light persistency. Sweet and honeyed, equipped with a light spiciness.
