I would never buy, as long as there are so many delicious alternatives - that was nothing

Nose

75 75

my first nose is marmalade red fruit but clearly metallic young without alcoholic stinging.

The nose gets a bit better with time - but never really tasty. I always have neutral bittering and metal, machine oil and cheap smelly plastic in my nose.
In addition a cheap sweet sticky Sherrynase. That can be a Glendronach 12 (until 2015) or a Bunnahabhain 12 much better at the same course

Taste

80 80

On the palate it looks thin, then it warms and shows mint at the same time - the alcohol is moderately well integrated for 44% but ok.
It is sweet with light nut flavors, there is also a fruity acidity but the sherry fruits are well hidden - a few raisins when chewing and orange - again slightly bitter - drinkable but not tasty

Finish

80 80

short, warm, ginger, raisins, hazelnuts, musty, spicy - long pepper and wax

Probably not very old, but it's still very lively and refreshing.
Being bottled at 44,2% is just about right. Not sure if 46% would have been better, but pretty sure it would have been a dud at 40%.
Anyway, I got my bottles at £27 and that is bang for the buck.

Nose

85 85

Very sweet and fruity.
Rich and interesting, but almost completely without wood notes. OK, maybe a tiny hint of dense mahogany.
This, and the dark ruby red color make it both look and smell almost like a cherry liquer, which is pleasant enough.
From a distance there is what I find to remind me of wild strawberries, and I love those.

Taste

83 83

Starts off a bit dry and a bit thin, but it quickly improves.
Sweet and fruity. Apart from plums it's kind of hard to separate out. Floral with a growing spice.
Far from complex, still very pleasing.
Would be a great nip next to a sweet desert.

Finish

83 83

Medium lenght.
Sweet, with spice staying on into the finish.
A little nutty at the very end.

A good whiskey at perhaps a slightly overpriced price. € 30.- would be more appropriate.

Nose

84 84

Typical sherry fruits, cherry too a bit metallic

Taste

81 81

Sweet, cherry, but less intense than in the nose. Mild, hardly peppery, hardly oak

Finish

81 81

Medium length, slightly metallic but pleasant finish.

Nose

Colour:
pink gold

Nose:
Sour, fermented berries. Rust dust, oatmeal and some dark chocolate. In the background lies wet straw, wet cardboard, some apple cider vinegar and old peach.

Taste

Sweet sherry kick. Then honey, some orange and unripe sour cherries. The taste is then clearly a teenager note. Braised gum and sour apple. It reminds me brutally of these sour chips from Haribo.

Finish

Short to medium. First alcoholic, then more herbs and nutty. Will dry. And in the end, this clearly youthful taste.

So I can not understand how you can think of it as a PLV banger. In the nose, I have still held back, but in the mouth is already very young and alcoholic. The sherry keg does not heal anymore either.

Nose

79 79

Clear sherry influence, slightly nutty, chocolate and overripe red fruits, but I can understand the reviews, as there is definitely a metallic note over it, age is not overrated, the more superficial I reinrieche, the less is the false note there, for only 44 , 2% he is quite alcoholic in the nose, including a cereal note, which is of course whining on high Nieveau, for 35 ¬ you get here with neat sherry loaded malt whiskey, which can not be too old, is clear.

Taste

75 75

slightly watery mouthfeel, becomes more and more watery, also young and metallic, above that the sherry influence, nuts, chocolate and dark fruits, very inharmonious, I liked the nose even better, alcoholic, very badly integrated

Finish

77 77

Heckraus, the sherry is not much left over, cereal, a tick oak, harsh, not very long-lasting

Looking at the other reviews and rates I am very much the minority. But all I can do is say how I find it. This was a sample courtesy of Peatbogger.

Nose

42 42

Struggling with this nose to find anything. It just smells a bit stale, or more like stale mate. What I do get is wet clothes drying on a radiator. Can't take this any further unfortunately.

Taste

45 45

The taste isn't much better, it's lacking not just something but a lot. Taste and texture are way off the mark. It has a punch but doesn't follow up with anything special. There are fruit notes but it tastes very artificial. Like those fruit sherbets you got as a kid and you added water to make a fizzy drink. What fruit flavour was it? God knows.

Finish

41 41

The finish is poor as well. It just falls flat straight away.

Smell: strong sherry nose, red cooked fruit, a little chocolate, orange, vanilla, plum jam

Taste: red berries, distinct oranges and orange peel (possibly also orange marmalade), quite sweet, a little young as the alcohol is noticeable despite the 44.2%, but not unpleasant

Finish: slightly astringent and a really slight bitterness (which I can not classify)

I bought the bottle because the frame data for the price seemed pretty neat. If you are looking for a sherry bomb for everyday enjoyment then here are the 34 mice are well laid out. A few percent and an age (or a little more age) would have been nice. There may be more NAS whiskeys like this one here.
