Remarks:
beautiful malt. With a little water it becomes round and soft.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 87/100 points
    At first, the sulfur rises in the nose combined with a little alcoholic sharpness, which is not surprising given the 63% or more. Full strong sherry aromas, coffee, chocolate in the background combined with citrus fruits

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    Sulphurous start, full and heavy, aromas of sherry, some chocolate and pepper, getting hot, some leather

  • Finish: 87/100 points
    strong finish, chocolaty, notes of sherry. slight sulfur note, later becoming bitter
