- good, very tasty whisky with a sherry finish
- for then about 50 € fully ok

Nose

intense strong sherry, caramel, fruity (berries), oak

Taste

very nice, soft, intense sherry start, fruity-sweetish development on the palate, then again clear oak

Finish

medium-long, soft, fruity, aromatic finish;
fruity sherry notes and spice linger for a long time in the aftertaste

Interestingly better cask selection than its counterpart from a few years back. Pehaps b/c of this being a more limited run?!

Quite neat, you can see the 15 years and he is not overwhelmed by the finish, very pleasing

Nose

Yes, you get PX here, it starts very sweet, a hint of raisins, but it gets good competition from oranges, slightly tart, which also goes a bit towards grapefruit, nutty, slightly waxy, creamy, lemon, a hint of furniture polish, almonds

Taste

sweet, raisins, in short there is a floral note, but here too the full load of citrus notes, lemon, sour, but sweet, some oak, nuts, dark chocolate, quite intense for 46%, even if the mouthfeel reveals the drinking strength

Finish

dry, nuts, bittersweet, grape skin, lemon, which is accompanied by a very slight sweetness at the tip of the tongue, very pleasant, medium length

Incredibly awesome, ingenious stuff! What a nose! Dreamlike! Marzipan, nuts, dark fruits, chocolate. Insanely delicious. In the mouth it flattens a little, but you are rewarded with a nutty and PX Sherry emphasized long finish. It was already cheap in 2014/2015 at around € 50. Measured against the current price level, this is ridiculously cheap for the general conditions (15 years, 46% vol.) And for the flavor freight. Who has the chance to get a bottle. In my opinion, you can give up to 100 €. Absolutely delicious.

Sweet piece. Nice full, heavy and solid taste. Greatly balanced and mature.

Nose

Mature, rather sweet, with chocolate and slightly nutty notes.

Taste

Greatly mature feeling, heavy, solid, full character. Chocolate, a bit of candy sweetness, fruitiness in the back.
