Remarks:
Wonderful 15 year old. You have to like the sulfur note in the nose (which I do) but otherwise a wonderful flavor profile. The alcohol is very well integrated and barely noticeable

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    At the beginning there is a sulphureous note which I would not necessarily call unpleasant, then there are many dried fruits, plums, raisins, chocolate, slightly spicy oak, dark berries, later a little honey in the background

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    nice sherry notes with plums, dark berries, dried fruits, chocolate, becoming creamy, slightly spicy oak, very salivary, later becoming very slightly bitter

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    nice finish with lots of dried fruits, plums, chocolate, then spicy oak notes which become a bit bitter towards the end. Right stock finish
