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
