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.

Interesting mixture of properties of young and old malts. I really like the old cask note as it balances and outweighs the young brandy flair.
Without this grade, I would have only given 70 points.

Nose

Sherry; behind it an alcoholic note; Citrus, but slightly sweet at first; a malt note slowly becomes clear; somehow metallic

Taste

Sherry; Sweet; slight barrel note; spicy hot; slightly alcoholic (goes in the direction of a light fruit brandy character); Some malt shows up in the mouth for a long time

Finish

spicy; tart; slight cinnamon sharpness; beautiful oak flavor; Sherry and fruit; dark chocolate, really delicious

Sweet blended malt for a reasonable price (~ 33 Euro). Uncomplicated. Overall complacent.

Nose

some alcohol, cherries and other dark fruits, malt - clearly sherry influence

Taste

young - something metallic; Alcohol well integrated, but seems a bit watery (despite 44.2%!); clear and very present Sherry sweetness; Marzipan - light oak, a bit musty (old oak barrel)
overall but pretty tasty

Finish

at best medium-long, subliminal sweetness sounds, overall pleasant.

Personally I just find this a jumbled mess. Nothing is particularly unpleasant I just can't identify anything of any note.

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.
