  1. Falnor scored this whisky 87 points Connoisseur

    I don't
    understand the word balance with this one. It screams sherry and it's brutal sherry. It doens't matter if it's from Glenrothes or not, because it's all
    about the cask. Is this a bad thing? If you like a soft and gentle dram, yes.
    If you like extreme and very powerful whisky with lot's of sherry, buy!
    • Nose
      The colour
      is very promising and there's no way around it. This is sherry! Chocolate
      bonbons with cherries, pure cacao, very sweet and dark. Ripe plums and orange
      peels. Leather and a hint of walnut makes it dry. Later on more and more roasted almonds.
    • Taste
      That's
      quite a mouth full of sherry. Still very much dark chocolate, figs and pudding.
      Some chilli chocolate with sea salt that gives a bite. A good bit of oak and a
      sour side to it. Balsamic vinegar. Grapefruit, lemon and bitter espresso with cacao powder on top.
      Not as warm and soft as other sherryboms. Cigar leaves, tobacco boxes and hazelnuts.
    • Finish
      It's a
      little one dimensional on intense sherry notes. Dry nuts and chocola... well
      you get the picture.
