Very complex, round whisky. Goes very well without water. Blind, I would have appreciated the much older, with no stuffy to find here at all. Everything is very balanced, neither too much sherry nor a superimposing barrel. The alcohol is very well integrated.

A wonderful price/ratio dram! Very pleasant Oloroso notes, powerful, spicy, with a pleasant woodspice on the palate and cinnamon on the tongue. Overall, very sticky and at this price (85 euros) just delicious. Very good drinkable without water.

Is it comparable to a Macallan 12 or a Glendronach Allardice as mentioned in previous tastings? For me, you can put this one in the same box. It's a sherry influenced non smoker. But you can't really compare this ones; and hey - i dont give a damn, this herb is just delicious...

If there was a tongue orgasm, Then I would certainly have had that with this dram. Sherry Bomb. Fruit, old wood. Amazing nose.

A really horny, dirty part!

Nose

Common notes from the tasting evening:
a sherry sow! In the nose: herbs, leather, raisins, nuts. Frying ... maybe Some turpentine still, yes, he has something filthy. What dirty geiles.Jahrmarkt! Sticky sweetness, cotton candy, love apples, baked Almond (especially the sweet caramel coating). The effect on the nose sharper than the Bourbon daughters

Taste

He has a nice punch, that's a dream fabric. Deckig, you can already see that in the glass. Rough. Herbs and raspberry syrup. Pepper chips. No water needed, that's cool as it is. Palate: Fresh Sherry meets White Oak

Finish

Has a nice finish to dry, old leather. Brachial yes and still somehow solid. Very confident! Blackberry jelly, honey, dried fruit

Toasted aromas that suddenly appear in the nose when drinking. Not a cheap finish, this one too was a really good barrel.

Oeh this is good stuff! I agree with Kay’s note, it does indeed remind me of the older style a’bunadh. Class A cask.

Nose

Sweet, clear and some sour notes. Oranges and cherries, alcohol is still quite noticable so I prefer to add some water. A lot more is revealed with water. Chocolatecookies, marzepin and even some minty flavors.

Taste

Without water it’s beautifully sweet, full bodied and silky. There is a real nicely balanced sherry influence. Alcohol is not that dominant as it is with the nose. With water it becomes even more silky and oily. Red fruits appear as well as some pepper.

Finish

Long, Soft, smooth and beautifully balanced. Sherrywood and oranges. This is older style sherry matured whisky. I believe they had a very good quality cask here. With water more of the wood comes through. Also some baked bread. At the end spices make their entrance. Sweet and slightly salty spices.
