Remarks:
very tasty malt. Very intense sherry aromas. Has a lot of potential to dilute. I like it very much.

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

  • Nose: 90/100 points
    At first very pungent alcohol, transitioning to notes of dried fruits, plums, very spicy, with a little smoke, later softening with notes of old wood

  • Taste: 90/100 points
    some smoke and salt, dried fruits, plums, pepper, very hot and strong, spicy oak later becoming a bit sweet.

  • Finish: 90/100 points
    very strong finish, intense with dried fruits and plums. Very long, later becoming a bit bitter and dry.
