  1. Pyromann scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    Very good whisky. Nicely balanced, harmonious taste and aroma. Pleasantly sweet but at the same time sharp sharp sherry affair.

    * I compared directly with the Benriach CS batch 2, which is not so complex, it is more straightforward, sharper and woodier. Both have a nice dose of sweetness in the scent and finish, Benriach CS maybe more in the finish.
    • Nose
      Sweetness after chocolate and sherry, spices. Prunes (certainly not as strong as in Gold Cock). There is certainly less roughness and more sweetness than Benriach CS.
    • Taste
      Beautifully smooth, full, sweet - sherry and overripe fruit. Nicely balanced, spice, pleasant woodiness. Complex, delicate. Compared to Benriach CS, this is not so pronounced.
    • Finish
      Spicy and woody. Sweeter, medium length.

  2. PEATYBOI scored this whisky 89 points Expert Junior

    An oily and sherried dram. Had this in tandem with Batch 4 and found this must more well-balanced because the oak spice in this is not as overwhelming. Cooked fruits are certainly apparent on the palate. Not too sweet and not as sweet as the 21 Parliament. Finish is long with notes of dark chocolate

  7. lachaineduwhisky did not rate this whisky Expert Senior

    Very carressing in the nose with a beautiful evolution. I had the order: red wine, milk chocolate, bourbon (for red fruits), dark chocolate, burnt wood, discreet orange peel, honey. It is chocolate that settles permanently. In the mouth, fluid, spicy, alcohol does not bang too hard. The finish, sweet and persistent at the same time, gives coffee first, and notes of porto then. With a little water, it's Speyside that emerges! The balanced balance between honey and spices! Enthusiasm 4/5

    • Taste
      Spicy taste, leather, polish, sherry full, sweet and spicy alike, sweet and leathery red fruit, very delicious and simply delicious;
      sweet, spicy, slightly earthy notes with water, totally vinous!
    • Finish
      Warming with sweet and spicy sherry, vinous, medium to rather long,
