Not very special for me. Good taste and finish, but lacking spice and power
One of mine first whiskies and favourites of many. round sweet taste.
Sherry und etwas Menthol in der Nase. Ein wenig Vanille. Süß, Würze auf der Zunge, langer Abgang mit etwas Süße.
I suspect many people try the 16 after loving the Abunadh and be disappointed. 16 is not nearly as intense or sherry-bomb, leading with milder cherry, more of vanilla anf honey palate. 40% abv does not help in intensity compared to Abunadh's 60.8, which is more expensive. However, taken on its own, this is a smooth, malty 16 year old with bit of bourbon sweetness and bit of sherry undertone, certainly unique among 40-43% abv crowd.
nose pretty strong sherry, raisins, honeysuckle, taste malty, honey, some spice black pepper. finish lingers but doesn't change much
floral sherry, honeysuckle, malty
honey, spice like black pepper, malty
decently long, oak, spice, dry
oak spiciness in an honey dram
echt lekker mmmmm
gaat goed af
Eindimensionaler aber sehr diffuser Whisky. Alle Aromen bilden eine unglaubliche Einheit. Einfach aber top.
Früchtekompott(Mandarine,Rosinen,Beeren) mit dunklen Früchten mit Honig. Sehr ausbalanciert.
Schön vollmundig, sehr angenehm. Minimal Fassaromen.Süß.
Sehr süß.Nach angenehmer Chili-Schärfe, Schokolade.
very floral on the nose. vanilla and sherry on the palate. short finish. nice dram
vanilla, oily, one of my favorite
hardcore sherry
full sherry nose, dark berries, raisins, melon, maybe Banane.
creamy but with pungent alcohol for 43%. Juice orange, dried plums and mildly roasted oak. Some sips later spices coming up, like cinnamon and nutmeg.
medium finish with milk chocolate and hazelnuts, then the oak coming up and taking over.
Double wood and long maturation give this malt a quite long finish, with lots of smooth vanilla taste.
lots of flavor, long finish, not too spicy. good buy
