very dark gorgeous colour. heat. sweet.

Nose

red wine. ripe plums. some of those mid shelf spices I've mentioned before. charr wood.

Palate

quite a bit of heat, wow. ripe red fruits, and therefore sweetness, not quite oily but there is a film coating. some wood charr. few drops of water makes this even better. smooth out occurs

Finish

a long sweet burn. burns gums, tongue, cheeks, throat. a bit harsh, not really smooth per say.

In der Nase etwas beißend mit Rosinen, Johannisbeeren und Pflaumen. Auf der Zunge und am Gaumen deutlich Sherry, Trockenfrucht und angenehm prickelnde Würzigkeit. Das Finish ist lang - zunächst bittersüss und weiterhin würzig - dann folgt deutlich Eiche, insgesamt trockener werdend. Guter Lowlander mit sehr gutem PLV.

General description

Klarer süßer Grundcharakter, der wirklich ausfüllend ist. Hat eine ausreichende Menge an Komplexität, um nicht langweilig zu wirken. Unter dem Strich ein wirklich schöner Nachgereifter.

Nose

ein Süßigkeitenladen mit einer Menge kandierter Früchte, Sahnebonbons, reichlich Karamell, vielleicht ein Hauch Getreide mit etwas getrocknetem Salbei

Palate

die eher herbe, herzhafte Getreidenote eher spürbar, die Früchte, vor allem Apfel, vielleicht Heidelbeere eher fruchtig als nur süß, krautig, etwas Zimt, eine Spur Kardamom

Finish

starke Süße kehrt zurück, bleibt mit den Gewürzen, bis diese verblassen und man am Ende doch wieder in Süßwarenladen steht, mit dem alles begann, da darf man dann auch lange verbleiben

General description

strong profile on the nose, sherry, well aged port, cherries, and a weird slightly off smell. not quite sure what it is, like a sulferous, burnt hair smell. in the mouth it's a rich, dark fruit affair! cherries, raspberries, strawberries, bitter almonds, and plum jam. with water, alot of bitterness comes through, very dry and oaky. the three casks definitely make a difference, but think its masking the actual spirit.

Hint of tobacco on the nose with woodsy vanilla and orange creme.

Sherry comes in on the palate, rich fruitiness with cinnamon and citrus making a brief appearance.

A solid mix of red fruit and spices ends with an iced tea-like dryness. An excellent intro into sherried whiskies.

Red grapes, plums, canned strawberries and notes that remind me of spicy pork flavored ramen noodles.

Palate

A red fruit basket with white peppers and chili peppers. Juicy plums, pecan nuts, blackberry, overripe strawberries and light liquor cherries.

Finish

Forest fruit flavored iced tea and dry oak.
