Remarks:
that was my most sulphureous malt so far. You have to get used to it if you can. But it’s definitely not for everyday enjoyment

Overall I rate this Whisky 82/100 points

  • Nose: 82/100 points
    a lot of sulfur that completely covers the other aromas at the beginning, in the background I have some sherry aromas, dried fruits. With a lot of time, the sulfur takes a little back, but is still quite present.

  • Taste: 82/100 points
    also here a lot of sulfur, a bit sweet in the background and against the sherry notes. Some chocolate. But here too the sulfur hovers over everything.

  • Finish: 82/100 points
    strong sulphureous finish, somewhat bitter and fruity. Then a sweet note easily emerges.
