good quality sherry, buttery floral, sweet, stewed fruits, sugars, coffee, bread, tea, hint of grass

rich, very spicy (dissipates if given time), stewed fruits, elegant sherry, red wood, bread, butter, coffee, hint of cinnamon

short-medium-short (depending on time), the spiciness will get your attention, woodsy, sour plums, rich fruitiness, sweet grain, hints of coffee, sweet and sour plum sherry at the back

the flavors are just absolutely beautiful on this one, whatever fault it may have on being a young/NAS whisky is made up for by the intense and elegant fundamental flavor that is present all throughout

Sehr kräftig, rote Beeren, Mokka, Bitterschokolade, alt wirkt er aber definitiv nicht (aber auch nicht metallisch), Muskat gerieben, etwas Zimt

Karamell mit roten Beeren gefüllt, Ingwerhimbeermarmelade mit leicht jungem-alkoholischem Touch, Orangenschale, Grapefruit, Hauch Schwefel vllt. sogar im Hintergrund, Muskat, alles sehr wärmend und ein wenig spitz

Apfelschale, vergammelte Erdbeere, Grapefruit, junge Eiche, kurz bis mittellang

Ein durchaus netter Sherryknacker in Fassstärke, aber eher was für die Rustikalen, ist jetzt kein Rosinensirup und auch keine Mokkabombam gefällt mir dadurch aber tatsächlich besser als manche Jungsherrys.

Red berries, marshmallow, caramel, cherry wine gums, brown sugar, nutmeg and crême brûlée. Maltier with a drop of water.

Caramel, hazelnut, cranberry, mocha and pepper. Also here a malty touch when adding water. Don't add too much.

Nutty, caramel. Also still berries, but less.

86/87. Better than the preceding batch in my memory. Compared to batch 4, that one was a bit fruitier and this one a bit fudgier.

lovely, very straight sherry nose on rum raisins and spices like allspice, cinnamon. the oak  brings out hints of lapsang souchong tea and quite some leather. there is also some toffee and freshly ground coffee. roasted aromas that remind me a little at glenmorangie signet.
find this nose very good, after the last two batches that had disappointed me a little.

very good. even with water it has quite some punch and the whole mouth is covered with a big spiciness and dried fruit. the oak is strong but very pleasing and still there is this signet feeling.
I think they used older casks in this one, I find it really astonishing

very long, spicy, warming

very good stuff in my opinion. head to head with batch 4 I find this still better, although Batch 4 was better than I had rememberred it.
(will have to go up with it)
89/100
