Remarks:
Notes of a blind tasting
wow it’s delicious. On the nose I find the sulfur note very slightly annoying because it suppresses the other aromas a bit. Even the alcohol doesn’t seem so well integrated. But that is whining at the highest level. It’s really good
Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points
- Nose: 88/100 points
the alcohol is quite present at the beginning. Then I have a sulfur note paired with sherry aromas, spicy, the barrel is also clearly noticeable; dried fruits, dark fruits, a slight citrus note - Taste: 92/100 points
very intense sherry notes, dried fruits, raisins, spicy, full-bodied, caramel, honey, leather, old wooden furniture, hot with pepper - Finish: 90/100 points
intensely fruity and spicy. dark and dried fruits, becoming spicy. a certain sharpness stays on the tongue for a short time. Very aromatic
