Nose: A well balanced sherry whisky. I prefer the palate to the nose with this.
Palate: The fruitiness continues, with more punchy jamminess, a little light smoke, well seasoned sweet root vegetables and some lingering baked apple.
Finish: Dry and lengthy, with an underlying moist oak note.
Comment: Robust and palate coating. Another contemplative dram.
Score: 8.2
Taster
Nose: Oaky. The sherry influence immediately signs the nose. Damp warehouse, musty aromas. Fungal. A cinnamon hint. Earthy.
Palate: Raw silk texture. Sweet with a dry astringency. Oak is well integrated and releases complex spicy notes. Roasted hazelnuts but not praline yet.
Finish: Long, dry with a liquorice character.
Comment: A well balanced sherry whisky. I prefer the palate to the nose with this.
Score: 8.2
