Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Tim F
Nose
Wonderful classical old-style sherry aromas - didn't know you could still get casks like this! Gamey and rich, with woodglue and heavy sweet stewed fruit. Impressively pruney for a whisky of this comparative youth. Also quite oaky (in a good way), with treacle toffee, blackberries and autumn leaves. Delightful.
Palate
Full-bodied - big waves of very assertive, oaky mocha and bitter chocolate, then some damson jam, followed by a massive surge of sweet sherry oakiness. Serious depth, but you have to like sherried whisky, as this is pretty extreme.
Finish
Drying and still quite oaky with fading dark fruit and spice.
Comment
A monster – and at such a young age! Almost overpoweringly sherried, but a lot of fun.

Colour
Dark copper.
Nose
Lively, with some glue, raisins, warm leather, 'proper' sticky cocktail cherries and a layer of woody smoke underneath it all, as a warm and meaty base.
Taste
Big, rich and spicy up front, with cigar tobacco and cedar boxes, cinnamon, clove and aniseed. It has a chunk of fruit in the middle that quickly dries out and becomes slightly tannic, with a hint of red grape skin and sour cherry jam.
Finish
Lingering dry wood and smoke, stewed cherries and eccles cake raisins. It all turns meaty as it fades, with roast beef crispy bits popping up.
