English term
fill on the tongue
Palate: Elegant, fill on the tongue, with the flowers from the nose joined by hedgerows and earthy spice. The apples are at the core, surrounded by spiced biscuits, soft cookies and a background of damp oak and soft char.
Can you please paraphrase this expression?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

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.

feel with your tongue
| 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? |

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.

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

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