Whisky Rant "A Bohemian single malt, believed to be the only one of its kind in the world."
Anne-Sophie Bigot - Distiller "Sweet honeyed bourbon-y aroma with rich malty notes, lemon cake and some mineral tones. Its velvety texture on the mouth offers some fruity hints of cooked pears, more malt and wood spices."
Nose - Dry grape notes with hints of lime start the show, sour redcurrants are present as well. Like a mellow citrus fragrant, when given time in the glass. Drops of water bring oak and spices.
Taste - Light, yet spicy and crispy. Dry citrus and oak, hints of dark toffee. Drops of water bring the malt and add lots of spices to the mix.
Finish - Aftertaste is great but there’s not that much of it. Little spicy as well.
