Remarks:
Wonderful malt. I like it very much. Especially in the nose and in the finish. The barrel influence can be clearly felt, but not intrusive. Very nice and intense sherry aromas.

Overall I rate this Whisky 94/100 points

  • Nose: 94/100 points
    intense nose, lots of dried fruits, raisins, spicy oak notes, plums, vanilla, wonderfully complex

  • Taste: 94/100 points
    Also very intense sherry notes at the beginning, lots of dried fruits, raisins, plums, spicy notes of old wood, becoming a bit bitter towards the end

  • Finish: 94/100 points
    Very sherry intense finish. The notes of dried fruits and plums are particularly present here. Again the wood notes, but a little more subtle than on the palate. Very pleasant mouthfeel. Slightly bitter later
