The aroma is fresh and sweet, lemon meets ripe pineapple and vanilla. Green elements in the form of herbs, green leaves and seaweed are also there and become more apparent as the whisky is aerated. A hint of arrack is found high up in the glass.
Nose
Finish
The aftertaste is medium long with a clear tea character. Some herbaceousness is introduced and the arrack returns. All wrapped in sweet notes of dried fruit.

In the taste, the tea interacts with the whisky in a fine way. The vanilla and dried fruit are embraced by slightly bitter tea notes and freshly cut grass. The citrus remains from the scent.
