Remarks:
wonderful malt. Very intense sherry aromas which are by no means superfluous. Great maturation and very complex experience. I like it very much.

Overall I rate this Whisky 92/100 points

  • Nose: 92/100 points
    Very dark fruity start, lots of dried fruits, plums, raisins, a bit spicy, light oak notes, some orange peel, very slight sweetness, later slightly nutty, dark berries, chocolate, alcohol is very slightly present, nice interplay in the aromas

  • Taste: 92/100 points
    Intense dark fruity start, lots of dried fruits, sweet, plums, raisins, caramel, chocolate, becoming spicy with notes of slightly wet, musty wood, slightly nutty, becoming creamy, furniture polish, at the end very slightly bitter but not unpleasant

  • Finish: 92/100 points
    Intense sherry notes paired with notes of old wood. Very thick and slightly bitter. Dark, dried fruits dominate, with a note of sour cherries at the end
