May 2, 2019 - Again ripe apricots and cinnamon, then a nice touch of almonds and hazelnuts. The whisky looks very well balanced and full on the tongue.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, but I think in this context it is used as an adjective to descripe the taste of the whisky? Perhaps there a single word that would mean more or less the same?

Asker: there is * // not " there a "

feel on the tongue


Explanation:
Could it be "feel on the tongue"?

For example:
Now to my surprise the palate gives you something completely different! A sensation of fresh fruits, almost on the Orange side with citrus peals that gives a tart feel on the tongue. Very fesh and light.
https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/nikka/nikka-coffey-mal...

fruity flowery aroma, viscous, very smooth silky feel on tongue, slight bite on tongue and cheeks, traditional highland scotch flavor with hint of sherry, lingering sweet flavors

neutral  B D Finch: The noun "feel" is preceded, in both of your examples, by one or more qualifying adjectives, without which it would not make sense.
