N- Rich dark honey and berries jam, scents of youthful oak are felt in non offensive way. Thick cut of sour dough brown loaf toast, studded with dark raisin and dried maraschino for bites of sweetness. Humid scents in the dunnage, dark roasted malt ale. Drifts of marzipan with nutty peat. (94/23)

P- When the liquid and casks are good, no matter on the age. Well integration of spicy, sweet, dried fruits and peat. Expresso with spoonful of brown sugar with buddha fruit extracts. (92/23)

F- Medium long, dry and chewy with waves of sweet peat. Dried fruit galore from nose to tail. (92/23)

Leaves a bit zwiegespalten. On the one hand, the sherry cask is so dominant that one does not notice as much of the distillery character as it might be desirable. On the other hand, this is a nice young sherry cask whisky that does a good deal of good and is likely to be a malt that should make a whole bottle of fun in the glass - if you should be prepared to jump on the otherwise apparent with young Springbanks, refrain from mineral notes.

Nose

87 87

Full sherry program: sweet red grapes, raisins, leather, tobacco. Sweetish at first, pepper and nutmeg come after a while. Nougat chocolate and marzipan bread. Cinnamon. The classic mineral note is only slightly noticeable in the background, the sherry barrel is already very clear about it.

Taste

87 87

Full and creamy with raisins, dried figs, strawberry jam and couverture. Slightly tingling, mineral. The sherry barrel is also dominating on the tongue, the taste is sweet and fruity with only a little spicy portions. Every now and then chili flits through, with time it gets salty on the tongue,
dry and menthol-fresh.

Finish

86 86

Medium long, dry and spicy at the back, with the sweet raisins and grapes still making their rounds.

High-quality dry sherry whisky, not very deep and complex, rather such, light, invigorating, unobtrusive, but very pleasant and sound.

Nose

Open, dry, old solid furniture, earthy notes, dirty prunes, animal fat, deep-frying oil, wool, dried mushrooms, leavened must, burnt jam.

Taste

Saturated, dense, oak, old furniture, furniture lacquer, old leather goods, crackers, kvass, caramel, earthy notes, raisins, prunes

Finish

Soft, refreshing, cola, caramel, coffee, leather goods, furniture lacquer, puer, lemon peel, ginger, metallic acidity.

What you would expect, a well-composed young sherry malt

Nose

A classic Sherrynase, sweet, raisins, dark fruits, some spice from the wood, it smells like a PX-barrel, a certain youth swims with it, but it is well covered by the barrel influence, always comes through, if you go a little deeper clear, with time it becomes spicy, wet tobacco, a hint of smoke and dark chocolate, after the first sip of chocolaty, short vegetables, towards celery

Taste

creamy, raisin compote, sweet, malty, a touch of liquorice, spicy, pepper, dark chocolate, espresso, tobacco, good to drink, definitely not need water

Finish

salty, slightly herbaceous, nuts are added, yes salted nuts, with a breeze raisin concentrate, very slightly ashy, like a cold shisha

Nose

really nice! . Lots of Sherry in the nose. Dried fruits, nuts and hints of chocolate. At the same time it remains fresh. With water; more real springbank. The smell of the sea through the sherry.

Taste

89 89

Typical for good sherry casks. It takes water well. More cooked fruit comes along with the typical sherry taste. It still has a remarkable freshness, which i like a lot

Finish

89 89

Quite long and balanced.

Nose:

In the foreground, definitely active 1st Fill sherry cask, milk chocolate, red fruits, cherries, strawberries, further influence of sherry towards tea, tobacco, honey, everything is very nice, but where is Springbank?

Taste:

same as in smell - a typical sherry cask flavours: red fruits, milk chocolate, more tobacco than in the smell, it is a bit sour, raisins, delicate sulfur, but still noticeable, in the background wet leaves, nuts, feel that it is young whisky and a bit chaotic

Finish:

medium long, sweet, but still a little bit of sulfuric acidity,

Score:

Pleasant whisky but no maturity - 86
