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
