Remarks:
beautiful malt, quite complex and aromatic. In the nose and on the palate it is quite convincing, but it breaks down quite quickly in the finish. At the beginning of the finish it is incredibly strong and aromatic, but turns too quickly into bitter dryness.
Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points
- Nose: 91/100 points
after a longer time in the glass, dark fruits, cherries, raisins, nice mild spicy notes, a bit sweet with vanilla, then becoming more spicy with oak notes, pleasant sherry notes, - Taste: 90/100 points
beautiful strong sherry notes, dark fruits, dried fruits, plums, spicy oak notes, slightly sweet with vanilla and honey. - Finish: 86/100 points
nice aromatic sherry, strong finish. But then it becomes dry and slightly bitter very quickly.
