Nose: great aroma with many fruits, lemon and juice orange are prominent, some mango and other exotic are also present, brown sugar and a pinch of vanilla, light and flowery with a breath of old wood. Very round and pleasing, which in this case is nothing bad.
Taste: softer onset but always "sparkling" is. Lots of citrus, orange peel and honey sweetness, dried apricots and a hint of ecotic fruit and spices, the finish shows next to some Nimm2 fruitiness and sweetness especially the oak. Since the 18 years Fassreifung are properly present. Great taste and nice wood on the finish, but seems a bit too styled.
I'm surprised - I think it's really alright even if it was obviously created as a pleasing malt for the masses.

At first it is round, fruity and sweet on the nose with apple / pear, caramel and honey. The aroma is reminiscent of apple pie, and behind it the typical bourbon "glue note". With a longer time in the glass, the vanilla strengthens and displaces the apple. From time to time orange / tangerine shimmer through. Little complexity for 18 years.

Wonderfully soft and (light) fruity in the mouth with hints of citrus and a little honey in the background, but still too simple for its age.

The strong but too short finish makes up for this and lets not only apples but also sherry-typical aromas of raisins and apricots shine through.

Not a monster of complexity, but at least a slight increase, but unfortunately less sherry influence than the 12-year-old Lasanta

Grade: 2+

Nice dram. Sweet, coconut, oak, vanilla on the nose. Discreetly peppery in the mouth, but the sweet oak remains present. Unfortunately, the finish is rather shorter but nice and aromatic with woody notes. The age shows, everything is nevertheless very pleasing. Good standard.
