Remarks:
Nice sherry matured malt, a little more on the softer and spicy side than the 14 year old and the 16 year old

    spicy, oak, some dried fruits, raisins, plums, quite soft, some citrus fruits, in the background light chocolate

  • Taste: 90/100 points
    spicy, dried fruits, raisins, plums, some citrus fruits, oak, later a little chocolate in the background

  • Finish: 90/100 points
    sweet and spicy finish, slightly bitter, chocolate, dried fruits, some citrus fruits, becoming slightly dry towards the end
