Sirius 1988 NSS Cask Series 009

Remarks:
a very extraordinary blend. The nose takes some getting used to, but the taste and finish are convincing.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

• Nose: 86/100 points
  Old wooden furniture, lots of delicate oak aromas, citrus-fruity, mainly orange, a brief touch of furniture polish or wood glue, in short, vanilla. The oak becomes a bit sour, bitter and penetrating.
  
  
• Taste: 87/100 points
  very citrus-fruity, sweet orange dominates, then comes the oak again, dark chocolate, becoming sour, yet a tasty combination
  
  
• Finish: 87/100 points
  Oak and sweetness, chocolatey and slightly nutty, fruits easily come through. Here, too, the balance between sweet and sour.
