  1. erwinnlim scored this whisky 91 points Expert Senior

    This is without a doubt good, well aged, sherry influenced whisky. What makes it even better is the price point. At sub £150, I never thought I would see the day. The ABV is ideal as well as it managed to both carry intense flavour at good drinking strength. Value (£140) : 8/10
    • Nose
      The sherry butts used here have definitely left a significant impact. Not overwhelming in any sense but it definitely makes itself known. Tart red berries, lovely figs and juicy plums. Rhubarb pie. Dark, almost burnt caramel and some milk chocolate. I find a touch of sulphur, but nothing off-putting. Then, plenty of old oak aromas come through. Dried tobacco leaves leave a drying sensation in the nose. Old dark leather and dusty cupboards even. Ginger spice and a squeeze of lemon. Light salinity throughout as well. The intensity of flavours on the nose is very impressive I must say.
    • Taste
      More of the same here please and thank you. So well balanced on the palate. The texture is oily and mouth coating. Sweet malt. A continuation of the sherry influence with juicy plums and dried sultanas. Some wet rocks hit with waves of light sea breeze. Bittersweet chocolate covered orange peels. Some almonds. Honey and Demerara sugar brings it all together and then a freshly cracked black pepper heat builds.
    • Finish
      The finish goes on and on. The drying tobacco returns. Gingerbread. I get something savoury here as well, like cured meats but not quite as forward. Hints of mint and dark cocoa appear. That saline characteristic combined with red and yellow fruit is present throughout.
