Remarks:
very complex malt. Wonderful sherry flavors paired with the Oloroso sherry flavors. Very tasty and easy to drink. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated.
Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points
- Nose: 90/100 points
quite soft, lots of dark fruits, dried fruits, smoke only very slightly in the background, some oak, alcohol is quite well integrated. - Taste: 90/100 points
intense sherry aromas paired with smoke notes. Some smoked ham, lots of dried fruits, very intense, a bit sharp on the tip of the tongue. Can take a little water. Later it becomes oily and creamy with a little pepper. - Finish: 90/100 points
spicy, smoky finish, very intense. Lots of dried fruits. The Oloroso ripening can be clearly felt. Long finish. Lots of dark fruits. Very complex.
