I'm a fool...but 399th review. Might as well review something I have low expectations on. Nose - funky...someone else said but darn if it's not some kind of cheese meets some confectionery candy. Then I get young cooking red wine. Coastal levels of salt and roasted oak. I thought this was fresh, not another recharred? But it's coming off pretty darn sherry. It's a really meaty malty salty body with red wine funk and youth all over it. I don't however hate it. Taste - I don't hate this one at all! Oh goodness, there's some good stuff going on here. The arrival is sweet malty goodness with hints of milk chocolate. I get some fruity elements, some big bold malt, the wine that came off so funky before is pleasant and nice now. It's a bit sour at the back end, it's got some youth for sure, and everyone saying there's sulfur on here is dead on. And each taste there's more sulfer, but it's got such a nice clean arrival, it almost balances things out. Guys, I think this is a perfectly pleasant and reasonably enjoyable CS sherry bomb. You better be ok with sulfur and you better be ok with youthful alcohol bite. For me 2 stars, this is average whisky and that's perfectly fine for what it is. If you see one, I'd get. But you better not be sensitive to sulfur.

The funky cheese of whiskey. Great bottle and well worth the price. From: Totalwine Price: 89 usd Nose: Peat, green apple, and shortbread, molded cheese (fresh bag of Cheetos) Palate: Milk chocolate, salt, walnut, burnt rubber, and sugar Finish: Peat, malty, and pencil shaving #DAD
On the noze: apricots,dark fruits, sherry, smoke, green Apple. Palate: milk chocolate, apricots again, peat of course and still the sherry overwhelming. Long sweet and pleasant finish. Great whisky!
Rich. Nutty. Some oakiness and wood spice. Lots of rich brown sugar sweetness. Salted caramel. Fantastic dram.
N: rubber M: sharp, young. A drop of water clearly cuts it and improves taste and cuts the sharpness
solid on every level. very possible the best scotch ive had
