General description

Nos, mocno wyczuwalne sherry, sporo owoców, kwiatów, świeże wypieki z lukrem.
Smak, cukierki z galaretką owocową, ciasteczka, chyba herbatniki, dżem truskawkowy, sporo alkoholu, na pewno jest dużo lepiej niż w przypadku 12yo, ale nadal uważam iż GD jest przereklamowany, po prostu nie trafia w moje gusta, aczkolwiek Port Wood lubię.
Finisz, średnio długi, ciut piekący, owocowy
, słodki.

General description

Nice whiskey, but did not wow me. Some toffee and nutty sherry on the nose and palate, medium finish is a little rough and spicey. A splash of water adds some orxhard fruut on the nose and makes the palate creamier.

on the nose first i get red fruit spices and caramel. very nice
On the pallet its oily, sweet and spicy going into a long oaky finish getting a little bitter in the end

Orange and a bit too much alcohol on the nose. Fruits replace the alcohol pretty soon. Also a wood background smell. Spicy taste and medium finish.
