General description

I've found they can be "prickly" above 46%. Not always a bad thing. This drop, at 60 % ABV, whilst certainly hot (spicy) on the mouthfeel, is a superb smooth dram. Lovely dark sherry in colour - oily on the taster: I found Christmas cake (appropriate) & chocolate, sherry & fruit, a powerful extremely pleasant finish. It's a winner, [in moderation] for best mates only! If you try it, sniff your empty glass 👍. Therein lies the guts of this superb NAS drop! I'm new to this - it doesn't need to be old to be good.

Nose

Dried fruit, fruit cake & chocolate; certainly bites the nose close up!

Palate

Again, it bites reminding its a cask strength, but theres a sweetness & pleasure in that first sip. Trifle dessert, the fruits & sherry just hang in, then floraly & tame at the back - it sticks 👍.

Finish

Its a punch, 💥 but magnificent, medium to long - delicious.

Für das Geld einfach Wahnsinn. Stark auf der oloroso Seite. Sehr nussig. Weniger fein.. Der Sherry schlägt einem eher ins Gesicht. Weiß ehrlich gesagt immer noch nicht, ob das mein Ding ist. Die Traube-nuss-schokolade gefällt mir gut. Diese matschige Rosine nur so mittel.

General description

A fantastic whisky, packing a punch of flavour, depth and complexity. If your in for an all singing, all dancing sherried whisky at a heavyweight abv, then this is your dram!

Nose

Wow, what a nose of depth and complexity! Big sherry opening and then the flavours begin to separate and the nose really shows its complexity. Marzipan, creamy butterscotch, honey, espresso beans, herbaceous notes and pear drops all interplay wonderfully throughout. Fabulous stuff!

Palate

Beautifully smooth and silky mouthfeel on the opening. Then strong sherry and malt flavours abound with a peppery spice developing. Finally hazelnuts, candied fruit and a slight charred, smokey note that wisps around the edges.

Finish

The peppery spice develops strongly on the tongue after the swallow, eventually subsiding to give way to a long drying vanilla and hazelnut finish. This whisky is quite an experience, highly recommend!

Preisleistungsverhältnis extrem toll: Mit Wasser verdünnt haben wir hier einen tollen Whisky, der durch angenehme Aromen überzeugt. Einfach runder Whisky, bei dem nichts stark heraussticht.

Nose

Sherry-Note(Apfel/Birne) mit tollen Vanille und Karamell-Aroma. Jedoch ist auch die Alkohol-Note eindeutig zu erriechen. Leicht fruchtige Note.

Palate

Zuerst ein Hauch voller Würze von dem Eichenfass, danach sehr angenehme Süße.

Finish

Im Abgang extrem dezente Eiche, vielleicht auch Mandeln oder Vollmilchschokolade.
Langer Abgang, liegt aber nur sehr kurz im Mund. Leicht wässrige Konsistenz und trocken werdend.
