Remarks:
It takes time in the glass, a lot of time. You have to let it breathe for a long time.
Only then does it develop its aromas and can definitely convince.

Overall I rate this Whisky 85/100 points

  • Nose: 85/100 points
    old wet wood is the first impression. Then sherry comes out, fruity sues with vanilla, light caramel and honey paired with peach, later cherry.

  • Taste: 85/100 points
    somewhat moldy taste, then sweet with caramel, fruity, a little chocolate, a lot of spicy oak, later becoming bitter

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    Nutty, fruity with a little sherry, slightly sweet, in short peach appears.
