Remarks:
it’s perfectly alright. Very balanced nose, quite cautious unless you wet the inner wall of the glass. Very complex, taste and finish are ok, but not particularly outstanding. Samples ok but the announced price of a large bottle seems too high for what is on offer.
Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points
- Nose: 89/100 points
Sherry rises in the nose, slightly fruity sweet, citrus fruits, light caramel, spicy oak which but quickly evaporates, vanilla. The sweetness comes out very soft, the spice and citrus only come when the inner wall of the glass is wet - Taste: 86/100 points
Sherry, spicy oak notes, fruity, very slightly sweet and slightly hot, citrus fruits are easy to hear, slightly caramel - Finish: 86/100 points
soft, slightly sweet, spicy oak, fruity, medium to long. Fruity notes stay in the mouth for a long time. Sherry is also present.
