Remarks:
Pleasant rather mild malt which at first glance would suggest that its aromas are more like bourbon maturation. Only after a lot of time in the air and if you leave it in your mouth for a long time, the sherry notes come through easily
Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points
- Nose: 88/100 points
aromatic old wood, for only 43% the alcohol is quite present, light honey, some dark fruits, vanilla, slight hint of citrus fruits. Looks very closed - Taste: 88/100 points
Very soft start, sweet, fruity with rather light fruits, light sherry notes come through much later, vanilla, slightly spicy oak notes, malty, slightly creamy. Slightly bitter later - Finish: 88/100 points
sweet with light soft sherry notes, later then citrus-fruity and slightly bitter Somewhat malty in the background
