Remarks:
very pleasant malt, especially in the finish

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    maritime medical smoke to begin with. Citrus fruits, becoming fruity, go in the direction of the apple. Deep inhalation promotes iodine and slightly stinging alcohol or sharpness. The sherry ripening comes through much later

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    slightly smoky, somewhat salty and hot. Later sweet and fruity, sherry gets through easily. Very spicy with oak aromas, becoming oily. Slightly citrus

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    sweet fruity, dried fruits and sherry are now more clearly present. Spicy with a little oak. Slightly nutty with hints of caramel. Becoming salty
