Whiskyfun:
The Islay just kills, but I’ve never tried the ‘Sherry Cask’, so now’s the time. I’m a fan of what they do at BB&R’s, they have this kind of understated, slightly posh way of doing things that should inspire many loudmouths from all around the world. Even politicians who don’t drink! Colour: deep amber. Nose: concrete and saltpetre at first, then roasted pine nuts, chestnuts, and a blend of well-roasted coffee beans and chocolate pods that have just been torrefied. A very pleasant proposition, not very common. Mouth: but yes! More coffee, orangettes, thin mints, 90% chocolate, dried dates and figs, coffee liqueur (I’ve decided to take it easy with quoting brands), and touches of tarry black liquorice from some of the most extreme Dutch liquorice makers. But yes! Finish: long, superb, extremely well-constructed, chocolaty and coffeeish, with the most perfect balance. Comments: wow, have they added some 1940s Glenlivet or something? At not even 50€, bang-for-your-euro, guaranteed. Genius.

Seeing some notes just makes me laugh...

Nose:
Sherry (PX and / or Oloroso), dried fruits, roasted shell, gingerbread, a little cocoa and honey, return of dried fruits on the date there very sweet, a little dust that emerges and nuts dusty dryer.
Mouth:
It's creamy, a little orange zest, dry oak, dark chocolate, towards strong coffee, the smell when it is hot, a little zan too, a little bitter, more gingerbread buttered and honeyed, toasted walnuts and raisins
Finish:
medium to almost long length, tenacious in fact, monolithic but lingering on raisins, cocoa and a toasty back!

Lots of sherry and surprisingly dry. The nose surprises with walnut and a certain OBF, a bit metallic and somehow still rancio. In the mouth it looks more nervous, but also nice and sherry-spicy and the finish also shows the full dry sherry board. A great PLV and if you can do more with the more special OBF notes like me, then this is a great whiskey. Solid for me in the end.

What a disappointment after the good reviews. This is clearly the worst bottle of my 40+ whiskies. I got a bad one.

Smell: metallic, musty, slight sulfur.
Taste: metallic/copper, ultra-musty, rotten oak, sulfur, no sherry at all.
Finish: all of the above and it unfortunately lasts a while.

The first bottle ever which I can't finish. In 30 years.
