Dark and intense sherry aromas stand out majestically from the premium snifter and exude their bewitching aroma from afar. Dark raisins and dates mingle with subtle roasted aromas, ripe oranges and black cherries mix to a powerful and spicy nose. Cinnamon powder trickles into creamy milk chocolate, honey drips on the raisins and dates. The cinnamon flavor is becoming more intense, the dark forest honey ends in a strong caramel note. Minimal sulfur appears from time to time, the dark berries harmonize very well with the sweet caramel and the extreme cinnamon note. The creamy milk chocolate invites me opulently to the first sip, my salivation is almost unbraked ...

Dark berries and fruit flatter the tongue at the first sip, spicy hints and creamy wood tones follow. Alcohol immediately becomes noticeable with a pleasant burning sensation on the tongue and between the lips. Spices mix with fruity orange and black cherries, the milk chocolate transforms over time into bitter dark chocolate. Cherries and currants dissolve, creamy caramel ends in an intense spicy note. The cinnamon aroma from the nose is also very present in the taste and tasty. Intensive and voluminous, this malt exudes its sheer irrepressible power and leaves its chubby warmth with Christmas spices and dark fruit flavors on the palate.

Warm and powerful, the dark sherry flavors rest on the tongue. Dark chocolate mixes with a handful of hazelnuts. Spicy wood tones and a touch of leather exude an interesting aroma, again a hint of sulfur rises. The sulfur aroma is almost unnoticeable after a few moments, but the pleasant sharpness is intensified again, as are the ripe cherries and the cinnamon aroma.

Based on sampling at a friend's. The sherry's heavier than in 12,15 or 18yo OBs, and covers the alcohol very well even when nosing it undiluted. The smell is deeper than A'bunadh's, and I'd guess this is a PX cask [not entirely correct, turns out it's a vatting of Oloroso and PX]. Nosed neat: A bit of nail polish, not much wood. Dates, sugar, and something a bit fatty which I guess will round out with water. Neat it's just too punchy so I'll add 2 teaspoons of water. Now there's the smell of fresh paint from a metal can followed by a bit of dough, wet clay, and for some odd reason I'm reminded of the smell of unwrapping the kind of a hamburger you'd get from a grill stand at 4am. It is a very good nose, very even and well defined.

This one can and should take a lot of water. It's a total waste as long as the mouth stays vicious and burning but water opens it up. And what a body it is now: soft, but neither slick nor silky. Rather it's like plush on tongue and very, very juicy. Dark chocolate, liquorice and a good dose of sherry in a very condensed, powerful hit.

Delightfully lasting and full compared to Glendronach 12,15, 18 or 21. The way it lingers is very satisfying.

less roundness, rather rough form with dried fruits, walls and confits, but not candied, it is thinner, after a bit bitter coffee, a little malt, wood quite dry and strong! vanilla in return.

A powerful wave of sweet dried fruits - raisins, dried apricots, lemon peels, mint, fragrant pipe tobacco, even more likely a wooden box in which were stored different types of tobacco and their smells mixed with the smell of wood, chocolate. A beautiful kaleidoscope of smells, then one other fragrance comes to the fore, replaces each other, strengthens, fades away, everything is very concentrated, the strength is felt, but it does not interfere, but as it emphasizes the power - you can enjoy it for a very long time. Excellent.

Bitterness of oak, grapefruit crust with sweetness of dried fruits (raisins prevails), powerfully, together, great, there is no desire to disassemble and analyze the components, you just want to enjoy, a wonderful balance, an ideal fortress.

Continuation of taste, bitter and sweet symphony of dried fruits and oak, light pepper / ginger, creamy toffee, boiled condensed milk, long, pleasantly refreshing.

The smell is heavy, a lot of sherry. Fencing (that would affect PX?). Spices, chocolate. Sharpness of alcohol, pungency, a little windy, pancakes and figs. (93 b)

Very sweet, full, strong. Dried plums. Figs, dates. Sweet spicy, a lot of cinnamon. Overall, this is a great whisky. (93 b)

Alcohol is about 55%. It looks like Scotland, the area I'd give Highland, probably a single cask series from GlenDronach, age would guess 22 yo. Maximum, if it's a catch, it could still be Amrut Spectrum.
