    S 7
    This is a blend with single malt whiskies aged entirely in ex-oloroso cask, from distilleries in the Glenlivet region that's famous for their sherry cask maturation.
    The result is almost a sherry bomb. It's definitely a cheap buy for sherry drinkers. However, it's quite oily on nose and can be a let-down.

    N 23
    - Toffee
    - Quite oily
    - Raisin
    - Very deep, oaky flavour underpin the nose

    P 26
    - Predominantly sherry
    - Intense dry fruit & raisin
    - Still feeling the oiliness

    F 24
    - Mid-short finish
    - Vanilla lingering
    - Mild raisin note

  13. Izzino scored this whisky 87 points Connoisseur

    Aroma: strongly burgundy, also sherry, dry, raisins, cherries, compote fruit
    Taste: is clearly sherry, slightly spicy with a hint of ginger and compote fruit

  14. YD84 scored this whisky 65 points Expert Senior

    My 30ml sample tasted like Craigellachie new make spirit (which, as you might probably know, is one of the more challenging new makes). Maybe I was unlucky and got a bad batch, as everyone else seems to like this. Not one for me unfortunately.

  15. Baanaanaabob scored this whisky 82 points Connoisseur

    Nutty sherry, dark fruits, not very balanced.

  16. FritzeKrautman scored this whisky 87 points Connoisseur

    That’s a positive surprise. Powerful start, strong sherry influences and a sometimes crass impression of lemon cola make it exciting. In addition, an eternally long finish and a price of around 40 euros. Purchase candidate.
    • Nose
      88 88
      Spicy and grassy beginning, then vanilla, unripe apples floral. Later ripe grapes, cola lemon, cinnamon. Later nougat and solvent
    • Taste
      87 87
      Strong malt, kitsche, wood, honey, spices. The alcohol tingles and is a bit peppery
    • Finish
      87 87
      Long, warming finish. Bitterness, spices, wood, ginger, nut. Strong alcohol

    Little better than the original bottling at regular strength of 46% abv
    • Nose
      82 82
      Some butterscotch, little leathery, little vinous, hints of nuts and raisins, little farmy, hints of dried fruits, whiffs of sherry
    • Taste
      84 84
      Punchy, little oily and creamy, more raisins and vinous notes, subtle sweetness, little leathery, little spicy, hints of sherry wood
    • Finish
      83 83
      Medium long, warm, spicy, little leathery, more raisins and vinous notes

  18. thijs100 scored this whisky 81 points Connoisseur

    Adding water is recommended but I still find it a somewhat challenging whisky.
    • Nose
      A little more closed, which might be the high abv. Somewhat spirity as well. Notes of fermented mash and cherries, with plenty of barley husks and toffee. Finally a whiff of leather and subdued orange notes. Water brings out marzipan.
    • Taste
      Sweet at first with some caramel and fudge, but also plenty of spices and fairly oak-forward. Touches of leather and tobacco. Much creamier after a little water. Whispers of cinnamon buns too.
    • Finish
      Drying and spicy. Sweeter after a little while.

  19. Cubey666 scored this whisky 83 points Connoisseur

    • Nose
      84 84
      red fruits, bit alcoholic, roasted sugared nuts, toffee, apples, leather.
    • Taste
      83 83
      red fruits, nuts, quite smooth, bit of red pepper, bit of leather and sulphur tones, but not distracting or negative
    • Finish
      83 83
      quite wood driven, red fruits, red peppers, chocolate, mocha, cherries

    What a nice blend! Strong but not unpleasant, taste of chocolate and fruits and a great long lasting finish. Mouthwatering!
    • Nose
      81 81
      Sherry, dark fruit and spicyness
    • Taste
      82 82
      Peppery start that quickly moves over to a chocolate-ish taste; finished off by dried apricots and a warm sweetness.
      A drop of water enhances the dried fruit.
    • Finish
      81 81
      Long lasting Sherry with a hint of pears

  23. marcelwessels75 scored this whisky 89 points Newbie

    Color: dark copper
    Nose: a robust, earthy nose with warm copper, cinnamon, ginger and delicious warm berries and cherries. Eastern influences from Baklava also emerge.
    Taste: a wonderfully classic “sherry” whiskey with warming oak, raisins and currants and again that wonderful spicy influence.
    Finish: the tongue stays “warm” for a long time with that full combination of herbs and dried fruit.
