After the volume percentages increased from 57.7 to 58.6 to 59.9 for batches B1 / 11-B1 / 13, Batch B1 / 14 has now gone back in the other direction. We have now arrived at 57.4%.
Still a great member of the single pot still whiskeys: full, fruity, spicy, classic pot still. Only in the departure of this batch is my opinion a bit weaker (because shorter) than its predecessors.

Nose

89 89

A full, voluminous nose with dark fruits, sultanas and figs. Brown sugar covers the fruits.
In addition, a strong leather note. After a while, the fruit fades into the background and pepper and nutmeg, mixed with the leather, take the lead. This spicy nose stays "stable" for a very long time, nothing flattens out.

Taste

89 89

Very full and creamy onset, which, although undiluted, does not burn, but only pleasantly warms.
Sherrynoten in addition to fine bitter chocolate, oak is surprisingly easy to taste. Spicy: White pepper, mild liquorice. Almonds. Fresh pipe tobacco. It gets a bit thin at the back.

Finish

88 88

Medium long, getting dry. Finished with sherry and berries, oak.

Nose

The nose is greeted by the typical pot still notes: a slight sweetness with pleasant grain notes. In addition, hay, ecalyptus honey, vanilla and apple compote.

Taste

An ever sweeter fruit bomb explodes on the palate with a light, pleasant bitterness and the obligatory grain note.

Finish

Long, grassy and lightly burning.

Great whiskey, smooth at this strenght, not at all a sherrybom, well balanced between cask and spirit. fruity, creme, vanille, buttery, pear... It stays with you, the finish is the best part, it sticks on your tongue.

a really great Irishman, lots of sweet fruit paired with sherry notes. Class All Day Dram.

Nose

Pure: very sweet, flowery, powerful Sherrynase. Cotton candy, honey, orange peel. Chocolate, plum cake set the tone in the Sherrynoten. Really delicious and round! With water: more herbs, not so sweet and flowery.

Taste

Pure: sweet, creamy, buttery onset with very nice likerartgien Sherrynoten, milk chocolate, greek yoghurt with honey. hot! With water: drier, not so creamy.

Finish

medium long, sweet, chocolaty
