The nose starts unexpectedly creamy with biscuit aromas. Behind it are light, juicy fruit flavors, such as ginger and orange cookies.

In the mouth, the alcohol tingles on the tongue, and spicy, fruity notes and hot pepper spread out, which slowly fade away under an oak blanket.
Length: 5/10

Nice, intense, drinkable sherry-heavy representative, which is on the spicy side compared to similar products from the competition.

Grade: 2+

Rusk, cake bottom, fruity, sharp beautiful whisky

Wonderfully soft with a spicy edge.

Smell: The alcohol is not as intense as expected. The main melody is tobacco, chocolate and coffee aromas. The level is still so pure and clean. Some fine charcoal, floral, and spices are set off, and the end is some woody notes and tea aromas.

Drink: The taste is not the same as the other members of the Cornie family. It has a large amount of fine bubbles, and a very enjoyable burning sensation and tannin, which makes the experience more abundant. The entrance results are preserved and the chocolate is continuously output. Eight points are long.

Sense: I think this is a high-quality Grangoni product. Although there is no vintage, it will not make you feel that he is very young. The high-quality Sherry style inherited by the family can still be captured here in large quantities. It feels that there should be a lot of high-vintage liquor, and the taste is refreshing and rich in experience. If you love the new generation of Shirley barrel whisky, this would be a good ration.

Tried blind from a whisky advent calendar that my good friend put together for me!

Color: Light Amber

Nose: Lots of rich sherry fruits, oily lemons, orange peel, raisins, cinnamon toast, creamy caramel, vanilla bean, sliced ginger, worn tobacco leaf and cocoa dust

Taste: Creamy caramels and dark chocolate along with salty plums, ginger cream, olive oil, tobacco, worn leather, sultanas, dry blackcurrants and roasted walnuts

Finish: Medium with more ginger cream, red plums and walnut cream

Reminds me a lot of sherry cask Deanston and Glen Garioch. Lots of good creamy and oily character but its definitely young as it carries a bit of heat but also some solid complexity with a more dense and earthy style of sherry cask influence. Overall, it's quite good and definitely a step up from an older batch I had a year and a half ago. At the right price I'd probably buy a bottle.
