  1. MaltMartyr scored this whisky 88 points Expert Senior

    It is a testament to its age and a well priced selection; I see why it was pulled for bottling. Noses as a sherry bomb; let it breathe. Water helps some on the body and nose. I wouldn't call it brash; its bold and as a result the finish holds well. Not as nuanced as some.
    • Nose
      91 91
      Deep sherry, raisins, stewed prunes, coffee and cream, fruit compote, cloves, cinnamon, brown sugar, slight ethanol; open your mouth when you inhale, the scent of this sherry bomb floats, but even port comes out to play. maintains its allure and the sherry raisin craving may be appeased more by adding some water.
    • Taste
      87 87
      more sherry, port, honey, clove, vanilla;
    • Finish
      87 87
      clove, cinnamon, black pepper, sherry lingering in the background.
