Remarks:
Notes of a blind tasting:

it wants you to smell it for a long time. Very intense aromas. It takes time. I like it very much.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    at first I have strong alcohol and a dirty note like musty wood. Much later, dark berries, honey, chocolate and some oranges appear. quite intense sherry aromas come to the fore, but they don’t seem superimposed.

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    strong dark fruity start, citrus fruits, lots of sherry aromas, berries, spicy and slightly hot. Honey, chocolate, becomes creamy over time, but the strong appearance remains.

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    strong, intense dark fruity notes. Berries, citrus fruits, chocolate, honey
