  1. Brunobaer1887 scored this whisky 78 points Expert Senior

    A unfortunately sherry-dominated whisky from a sucked-out barrel, I suspect that the sherry was supposed to cover a wrong note
    • Nose
      83 83
      And I have the first false note in my nose. A clear start of the lacquer drowns out notes of lemon zest, almonds and some barley sugar
    • Taste
      73 73
      In the mouth it goes on with sulfur, clearly and a lot. With water it tastes like a damp match head. Who likes that?
    • Finish
      77 77
      Sulphurous, medium-long and tolerable together with chocolate.

      It's good that I only had one sample
