Remarks:
It takes time, then it unfolds a nice combination of aromas in the nose. The smoke is rather reserved and looks well integrated. Harmonizes well with the sherry notes

Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points

  • Nose: 88/100 points
    rather subtle smoke, dark fruits, some dark berries, citrus fruits mainly orange, spicy oak notes, the smoke later tends towards smoked ham with a hint of ash, mint comes through very easily. With a lot of time and a long smell, light chocolate, raisins and plum notes come through

  • Taste: 88/100 points
    beautiful smoky fruity sweet start. The smoke is rather reserved. Spicy, slightly ashy smoked ham, dried fruits, subtle oak notes, very light pepper, later becoming oily

  • Finish: 88/100 points
    spicy fruity finish, slightly smoky, later a bit dry and the sherry aromas come into their own here too. Medium length
