Remarks:
beautiful sherry matured malt. Very complex for the young age and does not seem charged. Nice flavor profile
Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points
- Nose: 88/100 points
Strong start, the alcohol content is clearly noticeable, strong sherry aromas, raisins, dried fruits, dark berries, a bit sour in the background and slightly sweet, after a while in the air the alcohol decreases and chocolate and caramel appear. Now a nice sherry nose unfolds - Taste: 88/100 points
Strong start with intense spicy sherry notes, lots of dried fruits, berries, caramel, dark chocolate, the alcohol seems a bit better integrated here, but it is still a bit present. Citrus fruits can be seen in the background - Finish: 88/100 points
Nice sherry-heavy finish, somewhat sweet with caramel and chocolate, the berries again, then becoming dry and spicy, quite long, some citrus fruit again in the background.
