Remarks:
My notes from a blind tasting:
I wouldn’t have thought of sherry aging.

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    slightly sweet, some vanilla, light fruits, cereals, some honey, then citrus fruits, the alcohol is well integrated, nuts come after at the end

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    At first it looks quite fresh, then it becomes quite sweet, caramel, vanilla, nuts, again some grain in the background, slightly fruity, later becoming slightly bitter and slightly sour

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    very fruity sweet, vanilla, chamomile, nuts, quite intense
