Joe Bates

Taster

Nose: Sherry bodega aromas instantly hit the nose, but also inhale those lovely scents ripe fruits, apricots and peaches.

Palate: Intensely fresh and fruity on the palate: raspberry jam, chocolate and Black Forest gâteau.

Finish: A wonderfully fruity and lingering finish that you have to have time to enjoy.

Comment: Delightfully, intense whisky that delights and surprises at every turn. It has real depth and character. A bottle of this wouldn’t last long in my house.

Score: 9.4
