Remarks:
Notes from a blind tasting:

rather closed on the nose, on the palate it shows a nice sherry fruity profile, very special and aromatic in the finish. delicious!

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

  • Nose: 90/100 points
    light sherry aromas, nuts, dried fruits, slightly earthy, honey, a few berries

  • Taste: 90/100 points

    very strong at the start. Completely different from the nose, sherry aromas, dried fruits, a bit spicy, caramel, nuts, raisin, oak

  • Finish: 90/100 points
    Strongly aromatic with lots of dark fruits, earth, leather, oak, some cinnamon stays on the tongue. Very intensive
