Nose (21/25): This is a summer whisky, with citrus and some mineral notes. With water it turns slightly sour, with the mineral notes taking charge. It is not sulphur, but something edgy and flinty.

Taste (21/25): Caramel and ginger. It is light and full-bodied at the same time. With water it becomes more creamy, with added honey sweetness.

Finish (20/25): Light and soft. Caramel, some mint, grass and herbs. The mineral notes from the nose are back, but subdued.

Balance (21/25): An OK dram served in a very nice location.

Score (83/100)
