HammerHead Review note

21 Mar 2018 6:46 pm

HammerHead gave this whisky 89 points

Nose: roasted almonds, salted cashews, eastern serundeng like spices (coriander, ginger, cumin, curcumin), a fruitsyrup like sweetness with lime and oranges, also a tiny amount of sulphur/spent matches (it's more like smoked ham actually).

Taste: nutty, again the broad palet of eastern spices, pepper, oranges, lemon, lime, some grapefruit bitters and a smokey meatiness.

Finish: long - oranges, grapefruit, faint smoke, spices, pepper, ginger and a mild woody bitterness.

A big whisky with big flavours, also a clear improvement over the last time I had the 15 yo Springbank (which already scored 87 points a few years ago).
