HSE 2013 Whisky Rozelieures Cask Finish 6-Year

Have had this bottle for a while and yesterday afternoon it was time to taste it.
After more than 5 years of ageing in oak barrels it has been finished for between 8 and 12 months in barrels previously used for the famous French whisky Rozelieures.
In nose and palate the whisky notes totally dominates and first during the medium long finish it’s getting more like rum and you can detect vanilla, caramel, toffee and some sweetness.
Overall I must say that the whisky notes dominates too much. It could be a good start in the world of Agricole if you’re a whisky lover.
Picture: My opened bottle on a wonderful September afternoon out in the Stockholm archipelago.

tasted at the distillery, nice one, less smoke than i expected and this is positive, whisky barrels gave some cereal sweetness...
