  1. wisekycourse scored this whisky 84 points Connoisseur

    On the nose, characteristic scents on sweet caramel, chocolate, on caramelized orange fruits, on "sherry", on old dusty oak, vinified back.
    • Nose
      creamy, caramelized, on chocolate, candied oranges, rather strong wood, remarkable scents given the low alcoholic deg.
      back very woody, candied.

  2. WhiskyLovingPianist scored this whisky 86 points Connoisseur

    Crazily dark in colour, heading towards black molasses.

    N: Bready sherry that texturally talks of white fluffy bloomers. Other underlying notes run along the lines of muesli, cereal bars, malty oak. The complexities are very subtle, given the bold fundamentals.
    T: Heavily woody, it's a 15 yo going on 21, though the standard 18yo may have something to say about that. Develops on dark chocolate & sweet malt, not much orange.
    F: Decent finish on a dark vanilla chocolate maltiness.
    C: This appears generously overaged. I found an expression i tried back in 2013, more charming and with more [herbal] complexity, though there’s only a point in it. Very decent stuff indeed.Scores a B[-]

    • Nose
      Sherry, spices, orange marmalade behind vanilla
    • Taste
      Sherry and Christmas spices, nutmeg
    • Finish
      Long, sweet with nutmeg

      Lots of sherry but no sherry bomb. Could have a few percent more, still great malt

  5. LeChiffre scored this whisky 82 points Expert Senior

    In the nose quite interesting. In the taste but ultimately a bit too shallow and not very exciting. A little more alcohol would do him good. Overall good drinkable but for the money there are simply better alternatives.
    • Nose
      84 84
      Sherry; fruity and sweet; Dried fruit; Citrus with lots of orange; Vanilla; Cinnamon; spicy
    • Taste
      81 81
      sweet and spicy; Orange; some ginger sharpness; slight oak notes; altogether quite flat / weak in the mouth
    • Finish
      82 82
      Finish a bit more intense; little sweet; quite spicy and clear oak flavors come through

  6. Jack Marinello scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    • Nose
      Sherry very dry, nuts, orange, hazelnut.
    • Taste
      Sherry very dry, nuts, orange, hazelnut.

    Colour: dark amber
    Nose: grass, oak, raisin, chocolate, wood notes.
    Mouth: sweet, chocolate, raisin, oak and dried fruits.
    Finish: middle, spices, dried fruits, oak, vanilla and chocolate.
    This is a good, sweet and oaky whisky.

  10. redsnapper scored this whisky 82 points Expert Junior

    In my view too expensive. Dyed, cool-filtered, 40% ... there are better ones in this price range.
    • Nose
      85 85
      clear sherry, dried fruit, light nut, vanilla
    • Taste
      81 81
      sweet, caramel, again sherry. Could be more intense. Does not stop what the nose promises. Little spice
    • Finish
      81 81
      pretty short. Could tolerate more alcohol.
