Remarks:
Very tasty smoker, sherry is integrated nice and soft. A little more time in the glass is good for it and it becomes softer, ash aromas are then as good as gone

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    Smoky, campfire, lots of sherry, spicy, citrus fruits, slightly maritime notes

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    Ash, smoky, light sherry flavor that gets stronger after a while. Slightly sweet spicy notes, sweetness becomes stronger and dried fruits emerge

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    Smoke, smoked ham, spicy oak notes, slightly fruity sweet, sherry is only very easily perceptible
