Remarks:
Not much of the sherry can be felt. Water is good for it and the alcohol takes a little back.
Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points
- Nose: 87/100 points
very strong start, maritime, salty, sweet, smoky, citrus fruits, the alcohol is very present.
With a little water it becomes fruity and nuttier. The smoke also appears softer - Taste: 87/100 points
Citrus fruits, very strong, hot, pepper, vanilla, light fruits, salty, maritime, some smoke.
With water it appears softer and more harmonious as well as a little sweeter. The smoke looks a bit ashier. - Finish: 87/100 points
restrained finish, maritime sweet and salty, vanilla, spicy. Slightly fruity.
The finish hardly changes with water.
