Remarks:
beautiful malt. Very balanced and complex. Nice aromatic soft nose.

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

  • Nose: 90/100 points
    nice sherry aromas, lots of dried fruits, furniture polish, spicy oak notes, harmoniously integrated alcohol, a subtle sweetness in the background from a little caramel and honey paired with nuts. Orange peel and apricots in the background later. Great very soft nose

  • Taste: 90/100 points
    Strong start, the alcohol is definitely more present here. Very spicy with intense sherry notes, light pepper, becoming tart. Nice old oak notes, lots of dried fruits, raisins. Some leather

  • Finish: 90/100 points
    Nice sherry-heavy finish, somewhat sweet with caramel and chocolate, spicy and slightly leathery, oak, quite long
