Very smooth, rich and balanced one. My top rated sherry influenced one.
Exellent full bodied and ballanced dram. Strong and intense sherried nose, also deep and rich. The mouthfeel is creamy with sweet multi-layered taste. The finish is medium to long and dry, with a chocolate and spice on the tongue. With a little bit longer finish, the score would have been above 90. Highly recommended for sherry whisky lovers

A very small amount of peated malt in the mashbill. Thisnis a well balanceddram, perfect for the fireside and a good book. I'm told that 98% of their output goes into Johnny Walker for blending as its owned by Diagio. Note also that Diagio have a preference for the bulbous neck in their whiskey bottles.

very nice sherry nose
Thin, not as full bodies as a sherried Irish whiskey, though it does have some candied peel and fruitiness. Smooth not brash.
Very spicey, lotsnof ginger,
A beautiful whisky with a beautiful nose. Despite being sherry casks no sulphur. Definitely a dram. For one of those special occasions.
nice, earthy and some leather in the nose, no earthiness on the palate, but vanilla, juicy bitter orange and a tiny sour of solvents
so so smooth, fruity
Excellent whisky from a lesser known Speyside distillery. Always a winner
ein leckerer unaufdringlicher Speysider. Die Aromen sind etwas zu fein ausgeprägt und der Abgang eher. Ansonsten ein sehr neutraler Whisky.
Sherry through and through.
