Tasting notes：

Nose: Vanilla, fine cedar wood, anise, a little floral and subtle white pepper as well as a light blossom honey fill the nose - a wonderful mixture. It seems as if the Glen Wyvis was allowed to mature in a very active barrel, which was able to have a wonderful effect even after such a short time.

Mouth: The tart, spicy character of the malt unfolds on the tongue, initially wonderfully gentle and then slowly becoming more intense; slightly tingling wood impressions that are never disturbing. With a little more time, subtle plum jam notes, dark chocolate, tannins and a hint of acidity emerge, which reminds me most of blackcurrants; redcurrant jelly. In the background, there is a light impression that reminds me most of vanilla pudding; almost creamy.
Here too, the young malt surprises with its balanced taste.

Finish: The finish is also surprisingly long-lasting and characterized by the spice notes already described, especially aniseed and cedar wood; there is also dark chocolate (70 percent), cocoa and a slight sweetness. Great - I'm looking forward to increasingly older bottlings from Glen Wyvis!
