Tasting Notes by Malt And Oak
Appearance: Medium Cherry wood. Very slow waxy legs
Nose: Beautifully refined with deep and aromatic sherry. Like some others in the line-up, it’s a heady rush of decadent fumes such as antique furniture polish (which is a delightful and common trait across many of these bottles), that’s then mixed with moist Dundee cake. With some air the real stickysweetness starts to rise. Dates, warm tinned prunes, more cake spice. And there’s anotherwave of thick PX sherry and warmed caramel sauce. It’s another explosion of gorgeousscents and sensations on and in the nose.
Palate: Nectar-like sweetness with a gentle fizzy and oily consistency. The sherry has hada huge impact on the wood, and in-turn the wood has imparted its soaked-in treasure.Burnt toffee crawls around the tongue with dark stewed fruit. A slight dryness is therenow, as well as a roasted coffee bean bitterness.
Finish: Very long. Sweet sherry, buttery oiliness with a light nuttiness. Pepper wakesthe tongue whilst a hint of polish and tobacco dryness leaves its mark.
Water adds…. Maple syrup dipped apples on the nose. The sweetness on the palateis just as rich, but has an oiler body now. The finish is dryer with more pepperywoodiness.
Conclusion: A proper and hugely rewarding sherried whisky. And again, everythingthat this distillery stands for in a nutshell.
