Tasting Notes
This whisky is a classic “sherry bomb” and is highly praised for its rich and complex character, especially given its relatively young age.
Nose: Rich and inviting. Expect powerful aromas of dried fruits like raisins, figs, and dates, combined with notes of dark chocolate, sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), and a hint of treacle or toffee. Some reviews also mention a subtle nuttiness or antique furniture character.
Palate: The mouthfeel is thick, oily, and luxurious. The flavors are a continuation of the nose, with an explosion of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and syrupy dark fruits (black cherries, plums). The high ABV provides a warming, spicy kick of black pepper and ginger, which is well-integrated and not overpowering.
Finish: The finish is long and robust, with a lingering dryness from the sherry cask. It leaves notes of dark cocoa, roasted coffee, and a persistent fruitiness with a touch of spice.
